(Glarnok: “Honestly, we’ve seen worse.”

 Moozart: “Can they aim for Milton Keynes?”)

Earth faces its new cosmic problem instead of meteor showers and hazy UFO sightings.

According to Astronomy and Astrophysics three asteroids currently hidden in the Sun's glare could easily become city-destroying intruders if the universe provides them with a tiny push.

Their names?

2020 SB, 524522, and 2020 CL1.
(We know, catchy.)

The Asteroids You Can’t See Coming

Here’s the fun bit:
The Sun's bright light makes these space rocks invisible to observers using Earth-based telescopes. These space rocks exist as invisible potholes that everyone knows but can never see.

If one hits Earth?

We’re talking craters over 3km wide, and blast energy millions of times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb. Fires. Tsunamis. Global headlines. The usual.

NASA has not activated its warning systems but the scientists maintain their composure.

Glarnok’s Take:

During my five-minute absence Earthlings continue to avoid space debris at a pace from the 1990s.

You know what we call ‘invisible asteroids’ where I’m from?
Tuesday.

Establishing a space defense system prior to the emergence of space rocks as hostile entities would be a good idea. A minimum precaution would be to stop using names which resemble WiFi passwords.

Moozart’s Thoughts (While Polishing the Lamp):

“I have notes:

Can we train the asteroids to target cryptocurrency events?

How did our scientific community fail to detect these large space rocks which follow Venus's orbit?

The orbital mechanics knowledge I possess surpasses that of numerous Earth space agencies even though I am just a cow.

A fireball from space could destroy you better when you are under the illumination of a fashionable alien-themed desk lamp. Priorities."

From Cosmic Threats to Mood Lighting

Let’s be real:
The likelihood of these asteroids impacting Earth remains minimal.
The chances of humans being ready for the impact are minimal.
The odds of Glarnok remembering where he parked the ship? Zero.

If the world faces destruction (or a slight axis wobble) it should at least appear appealing. The Alien Abduction Lamp serves as the perfect choice for creating ambient lighting when strange cosmic occurrences become visible in the sky.

When reading NASA releases or creating asteroid evacuation plans or drinking tea you should use a beam of light that displays your alien belief and gravity skepticism.

Get your Alien Abduction Lamp before the next flyby.
