By Shakes Astronomers of this little earth wire brought up with a start a couple of months ago when they found that the earth haq narrowly escaped . being struck by another piece of the solar @system, heretofore unobserved. Known .Ezow as Delporte‘s planet, the newlyâ€" «discovered little planet (a mere billion "tons or about threeâ€"quarters of a mile "in diameter) is believed to have a most seccentric orbit. It came within a milâ€" ~lion and a half miles of the earth, ‘Bvhich is close indeed in terms of solar ‘‘BpAaCC,. in By February 13th the asteroid was wight millicn miles away and was g°Lâ€" ‘ting farther anq farther away at the mate of about a million and a quarter aniies a day, The astronomers had not it until five days after the ‘danger time had passed. For on Februâ€" ary 7th, the little piece of the solar system came as closse as it will for the next 1,000 years, according to compuâ€" tations made within the past few werks. baseq on observations taken indepenâ€" ‘dently on at least two points of the earth‘s surface. The reason nobody noâ€" ticsd the billion tons hurtling towards the earth was that it approached from ‘the sun, in a region from which asâ€" -tronomex., do not look for astsroids. { The possibility of a collision with ‘the earth is, of course, remote. The orbit of Delporte‘s objsct is not even ‘on the same plane with that of the earth, although it more closely apâ€" prcaches that plane than those of most of the other inhabitants of the solar system. Aside entirely from the academic inâ€" terest in the discovery of a new neighâ€" bour, the prospect of a collision between a minor planet and the earth opens up great possibilitiee for the writer of highly imaginative stories. The quesâ€" tion immediately asked is "What would happen to the earth?"
