All life as we know it could’ve ended tonight. Asteroid scare

Well this is certainly unpleasant. Apparently we could’ve been killed by an asteroid today!!
This “2009 TM8” named asteroid was only 216,000 miles away from the Earth. Now that may seem like a pretty big distance. But the Earth has it’s own gravitational pull. It’s what’s keeping the moon in orbit around us. And this thing was between the Moon and Earth!

That’s a fucking scary thing to think about. That we could of all died and not even know what happened until it was too late. But we didn’t! We’re still alive! Still, fear courses through my veins. Much like a tornado watch, or an earthquake.
It’s like everyday living now has more risks than it did before.
