In this episode of science minute we examine the small asteroid that will harmlessly tag along with Earth for the next couple of months.  

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
BO Channel ninety three three. This is Sonya in this minute.
For the next two months, the Earth will have a
little hitchhiker from the universe. A small asteroid will orbit
the planet until late November, when it will be released
by the Earth's gravity to continue on its verry galactic way,
a temporary new little Moon, if you will. Now, the
asteroid is totally harmless and should pose no threat to

(00:23):
humanity's continued existence. Will it heat up the Pacific Ocean
by one point three degrees? Probably not. Will it block
our view of celestial bodies that we know and love barely,
if at all. Now, I'd advise against giving any credence
to the rumor that it may have extraterrestrial bacteria on it. Also,

(00:44):
we cannot confirm that any organisms hitching a ride on
this asteroid intend to eat the pets of Springfield, Ohio.
And we have no second source of information suggesting that
that little feller might break out of absorbit, smashing right
into the area between Formosa and Rapid City, South Dakota
on November twenty ninth at three point thirty six am. Nope.

(01:07):
So I'm here to assure you, as a scientist that
none of these scenarios are likely at all, but it
wouldn't be the weirdest thing to have happened in the
last few years. Huh, who knows well? Fellow for more,
this has been your science minute Nerves LOL at five
oh five, brought to you by illegal peeps search Lol's
