    	I posted this the other day. I don't think it got through the 
        gateway so I'll give it one more try.

    	I've heard on the radio this morning that back in the 1930s an 
        asteroid, by the name of Hermes, almost collided with the 
        Earth. It only missed us by 500,000 miles, which in 
        astronomical terms is fairly small. The asteroid was large 
        enough to do considerable damage to the Earth. Can anyone 
        supply more information?
