mcvax!ukc!reading!cf-cm!csisles!mackeown@uunet.uu.net (W. Mackeown) Subject: The BIG Bang: Asteroid hits Earth? Has anyone got any more details, eg. orbital parameters, for an object (an asteroid, I think) of 1km diameter, velocity 20000m/s, which apparently came within 500000km of the Earth on 23 March 1989 and which has the label FC1989 ?? Apparently FC1989 orbits the Sun >>every<< year. This year it was pretty close, next year it may be closer still. I read this in the newspapers, so it might have been fictitious. Reply by e-mail please ; I'll post a summary.
