Apologies, the promised borrowing of the telescope in the canaries is not actually happening, unless I've got the wrong feed.

Will search for something tangiable, or am I an hour late ?

What me worry....Not me....The only thing I worry about things passing is if last nights dinner is going to pass, not some asteroid, now if I go out and give it a little nudge then some may want to start worrying.

Another thing to worry about is if you have booked passage on the Titanic IV, now that one is doomed as it does hit an asteroid. (I keep telling then that that name is not a good one for any type of ship.

One of those remote Langrangian point satellites perhaps.

I signed up for the free version, the talks on it was interesting, some talk on how we might redirect them in the future if they was going to crash into us, nothing expected in the next 100 yrs.
