NASA now has web site where we can see objects approaching Earth!
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has a new web site that will provide a central resource where we can see information on near-Earth objects - asteroids and comets that may approach Earth. The Asteroid Watch site also contains links where we can subscribe to the asteroid RSS feed, sign up for an email newsletter for select asteroids, and even track flybys with the Asteroid Watch Widget! The widget is available for Mac OS X Dashboard and Yahoo! Widgets. There’s plenty of audio and video on the site plus information about missions, so if you’re interested in asteroids, be sure to check it out!

Hi Jacob, Yeah I was glad to find out about this site too. Now we can see things that are "looming" near us - maybe get a little nervous. :D

We have some new channel on Brighthouse thats it HD and dedicated to everything pretty much NASA, I will assume everyone has that channel.
I will say Im not sure that I really want to see or know about anything flying towards earth, I would rather it be a “shock”.

Yes, I think I'd prefer to "not know what hit me" than to look out the window and see something like the picture above. :D
