People are getting tried of not being respected. As much as people should have the right to refuse service if they have a reason, it is not allowed by almost group except this one. Just think if a christian business owner tried to refuse to sell to someone because they did not want to too, or rent to because people were not married it is not allowed, but this is ok, because they are discriminating against a non vocal minority, well it time to speak up, here is one venue to do it.

Pan-STARRS Discovers First Potentially Hazardous Asteroid
The University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS PS1 telescope on Haleakala has discovered an asteroid that will come within 4 million miles of Earth in mid-October. The object is about 150 feet in diameter and was discovered in images acquired on September 16, when it was about 20 million miles away.

It is the first “potentially hazardous object” (PHO) to be discovered by the Pan-STARRS survey and has been given the designation “2010 ST3.”

“Although this particular object won’t hit Earth in the immediate future, its discovery shows that Pan-STARRS is now the most sensitive system dedicated to discovering potentially dangerous asteroids,” said Dr. Robert Jedicke, a University of Hawaii member of the PS1 Science Consortium (PS1SC), who is working on the asteroid data from the telescope. “This object was discovered when it was too far away to be detected by other asteroid surveys,” Jedicke noted.

Most of the largest PHOs have already been catalogued, but scientists suspect that there are many more under a mile across that have not yet been discovered. These could cause devastation on a regional scale if they ever hit our planet. Such impacts are estimated to occur once every few thousand years.

Objects the size of 2010 ST3 usually break up in Earth’s atmosphere, but the resulting blast wave on the surface can still devastate an area covering hundreds of square miles. “There is a very slight possibility that ST3 will hit Earth in 2098, so it is definitely worth watching,” Jedicke said.

Dr. Timothy Spahr, director of the Minor Planet Center (MPC), said, “I congratulate the Pan-STARRS project on this discovery. It is proof that the PS1 telescope, with its Gigapixel Camera and its sophisticated computerized system for detecting moving objects, is capable of finding potentially dangerous objects that no one else has found.” The MPC, located in Cambridge, Mass., was established by the International Astronomical Union in 1947 to collect and disseminate positional measurements for asteroids and comets, to confirm their discoveries, and to give them preliminary designations.
