Asteroid Day 2019

Asteroid Day aka International Asteroid Day is an annual international event which is held on the anniversary of the Tunguska event that took place on June 30, 1908.

We've had a number of proximities which qualify as "near miss" in astronomical terms and some of the conjecture has been really out there with 'spaceship' asteroid supposition and other extra terrestrial modalities which possibly mimic the presence of asteriods.

I remember in the old days learning about the asteriod belt in our solar system and the information has been difficult to track given my preoccupation with things related to employment so suffice it to say that I am not nearly as knowledgeable as I was in a younger day.

Asteroid Day aims to raise awareness about asteroids and what can be done to protect the us from potential catastrophic events.

The entire notion gives me those fleeting images of the move Armageddon and the asteroid apocalypse it entailed.

Brrr !
