I am saying these objects are from when they flew thatspacecraftinto that really big astroid to get photos of it for "research" they said.
And they are starting to get close to earth now.3 times closer than our moon.

The impactor they shot into the asteroid didn't have sufficient mass or velocity to alter the asteroid's orbit . Nice try though .

Can you read? What did I write that refered to the whole astroid and did you look at the table.I was talking about pieces of it.And anything that is hit that blows a crater into something is goanna be altered even if its 1,000,000,000 of an inch it willalter it orbit and path. Thisis like a piece of lint on a pool table,The ball hits it,it's goanna alter the balls path.Get a book on physics and read it,read it many many times.

Dust ain't boulders or lint

This is a link to the Deep Impact website's post mission fact sheet , you may find it enlightening but somehow I doubt it . The next time you try to imply that I'm an illiterate dumbass then at least be smart enough to look at more than one source before typing your reply . We were both wrong on one count though , it was a comet , not an asteroid . A big ball of ice and dust , so the impactor never released anything close to the size of the stones on your table . All it released was dust , pretty much like your initial post did ...
