The Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System, also known as Pan-STARRS or even more pithily, PS1, is a 1.4 gigapixel telescopic camera stationed at Mount Haleakala in Hawaii, specially designed to alert us Earthlings to any space objects which might pose a threat to our existence.

The 150 feet across asteroid designated 2010 ST3 will pass within 9 million miles of Earth in October and has a slight chance of colliding with our home planet in 2098. A collision with an asteroid of this size would create an impact as powerful as a 20 megaton bomb, 1,000 times stronger than the bombing of Hiroshima. The actual chance of 2010 ST3 hitting Earth is very slight, so don’t start building a shelter for your grandkids just yet.
Now here is another excuse to weaponize space. The next one will be E.T.s Please don’t be fooled by this attempt at bringing us into a one world government .
