Outerspacey!: Video Timeline Of All Known Asteroids In Chronological Order Of Discovery
Note: I know, the screencap looks like an alien's sphincter, hit the jump to watch the video.
This is a video showing the discovery of asteroids from 1980 - 2010. It starts off pretty slow, but by the late 90's/early 00's asteroids start popping up faster than Whac-A-Moles. A result of global warming? You decide. Just don't decide yes or we'll all point and laugh and call you names. Real scathing things too, shit like Galilame-o. You'll try to fight back tears. But, like so many fights before, you will lose. That night, while relating the day's traumatic events at the dinner table, your dad will call you a pussy. And you know what? He'll be right.
