Poor diagram of 2008 TC3's orbit[edit]

The animated diagram labeled "Animation of 2008 TC3's orbit" is misleading in that Earth's orbit is nowhere near that elliptical. And even if it were, the Sun would not be at the center. BMJ-pdx (talk) 05:51, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BMJ-pdx: Your comment is based on the wrong assumption that the animation is looking straight down at Earth's orbit. Renerpho (talk) 21:50, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nat Geo Documentary[edit]

There was a National Geographic documentary, called The Asteroid That Hit Earth, about the asteroid, its impact and the search for the fragments. There might be links and references, etc available in a web search, I'm not sure. Cadar (talk) 06:59, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
