particular parlor game, because it's a little bit -- though it's even less likely than the stories that nasa faked the moon landing using atudio in hollywood. that's a much more plausible story than the earl of oxford writing shakespeare's plays. >> rose: the subtitle is "howth" what does that mean? >> well, out at the far end, first of all, of what lucretius brought into the world of figures that are key figures that -- lucretius said, because nature's constantly experimenting, there must have been other species in the world befo we existed, and they'll be other species in the world after our type ceases to exist. nature tes lots of different things. if a experience is able to find food for -- species is able to find food for itself and reproduce, it will last for a while, but not forever, because the environment changes, the world changes, nothing last forevers. if that idea sounds familiar to you, it's because of darwin. >> rose: right.darwin didn't ne. he needed his time in the galapagos looking at finches, but only got there because certain ideas had been re-released into the world, as it were, and were percolating

moon bay. winds are not helping. they are nearly calm more fog down the peninsula, half moon bay wind keeping you clearer than rest of us. in the afternoon temperatures are going to run into the 50s and possibly 60s as we head deeper into the forecast. that is going to be tempered in the east bay valleys by some of the fog that is out there and thickest right now. i think we'll see a cold front later today. to late to clear us out in time to see significant warming over yesterday. warmer temperatures tomorrow. winds wednesday into thursday, highest elevations could topple frees. we'll talk about more as we get -- topple trees. we'll talk about that more as we get closer. >>> this is a live look at the golden gate bridge very thick, trying to get other live shots but our cameras are fogged in so we are having a tough time. we will look at the bay bridge, benicia bridge, all socked in. fog on the peninsula, 280, redwood city, palo alto, 101, mountain view and that's pretty much the -- just be aware, drive carefully. >>> those numbers about your chances of seeing the fog were mine and mine alone not endorsed by mike nicco

than the moon. scientists say don't worry. there wasn't any real danger of collision. jeff ranieri told us that. >> i read it somewhere. >> great viewing for the raft roadway. plenty of clear skies and cool for most of us. we did pop up close to 70. 63 in the valley and los gatos with 65. the warmest temperatures and the coldest extreme weather is in the north bay. 39 in napa and 39 in novato and a chilly 37 in fairfield. as we continue throughout tonight and tomorrow morning, isolated areas of patchy frost throughout north bay. for wednesday, sunshine that will bring warming here. we will respect to moderate temperatures and all about the storm. strong to moderate system and this would produce a huge rainfall and instead of going for the west across california, the storm track with this is taking it from the north to the south. it looks like right now the center will stay offshore. it will bring us periods of rainfall. for wednesday it will stay dry with 60s and throughout thursday we will look at the chance of rainfall increasing forever the evening. here's a look. by early friday mornin

that is a huge asteroid there, bigger than an aircraft carrier that's hurtling towards us right now. today, it's going to pass between earth and the moon's orbit. it will be a mere 200,000 miles away at its nearest point. that's closer than any large asteroid since way back in 1976. seen a few of these stories this year. >>> now, for this morning's weather from around the nation. more severe storms with gusty winds and hail around oklahoma city and houston. dallas, shreveport, little rock, and st. louis. heavy rains from des moines to detroit. half a foot of snow from northern iowa to wisconsin. a mere dusting from the twin cities. showers from seattle to northern california. >> just shy of 60 in sacramento. 37 in salt lake city. 40s from fargo to omaha. mostly 60s in the northeast. atlanta gets up to 70. and it will be about 80 in the big easy. >>> coming up, a judge orders bank of america to return hundreds of millions of dollars to customers. >>> plus, record-high gas prices on the horizon. when you can expect that pain at the pump to make a comeback. >>> and breaking news from overnight. the loss of a sports legend. @ @ >>> welcome b

than the moon. it will be within the moon's orbit. but it's not going to hit us. not enough to destroy earth. enough to destroy a region. it's not going to hit the bay area. we'll live another day. conrad young is an os tron mer here. you said last time we saw something this big come so close was the 1970s? that's correct. to have something this big, part of the solar system. we can actually see it in the tell prompter. an amateur telescopes we can see the thing moving across the sky. >> you'll be tracking with your 36 inch telescope tonight when the sunsets. what are you going to see if you were to look through a telescope? can you give me a description of what it would look like? >> pretty much anybody's telescope that can see down to star level of magnitude 12, you should see a star like object slowly drifting through the telescope field. >> so furp to look at it, it would be a little dot across the screen. >> just a little dot. a little star. slowly drifting among the stars themselves. it's a drifting star. >> we're going to dodge a bullet. are there any out there we know about that we sh

than the moon. it's going to happen about 6:28 tomorrow night. the good news is it's not going to hit us. 's more on the astroid. >> it's going to be moving very rapidly. >> a huge astroid named 2005yu55 will be passing between the earth and moon. scientists say the space rock bigger than an aircraft carrier is now approaching from the direction of the sun. earth's close encounter is expected to occur about 6:30 p.m. eastern on tuesday. >> it will be moving straight at us from one direction and go whizzing by straightaway from us in the other direction. so its motion across the sky will be close to 180 degrees over the course of less than two days. >> scientists have been tracking the slowly spinning rock since its discovery six years ago. the astroid completes one trip around the sun every 15 months. if the rock were to plow into earth it would blast out a crater 4 miles across and 1700 feet deep, but according to computer models showing the path for the knicks 100 years there is no chance it will -- next 100 years, there is no chance it will hit earth during that time. >> it cannot hit e

than the moon's orbit at 6:28 p.m. that's inside the moon's orbit. between us and the moon, in other words.hey do not expect it to hit earth. we are happy to hear. it will be 200,000 miles away, which is awfully close. but the asteroid will be, in fact, the closest it has been to earth in about 200 years. an asteroid this size won't be this close to earth, again, until the year 2028. >> should we be outside looking for it to go zinging by? >> you're not going to see it with the naked eye, but with a telescope, you will be able to see it as it will move across the sky. it will move very fast at 30,000 miles per hour and take ten minutes to get from one side of the sky to the other. if you have a telescope, you might want to get out there and watch it. you have ten minutes and my weather cast is only 3 1/2 minutes long. you might want to stick around for that. let's show you what's happening out there right now. first off, want to take a look and show you as far as the weather is concerned, down towards the kennedy center a beautiful night out there tonight and it's going to continue to be fa

than the moon on thursday coming within about 200,000 miles. but scientists say the risk of a collision is nonexistent. >> in effect it will be moving straight at usrom one direction and then go whizzing by and straight away from us in the other direction. so it is motion across the sky. close to 180-degrees over the course of less than two days. >> so now we know. professional and amateur astronomers will be tracking the asteroids approach. it will be visible from the northern hemisphere but too dim to be seen by the naked eye. >>> the occupy movement becoming part of the corporate machinery. the fight in several cities over the right to "own the brand." >>> forget the chicken it is turkey season and time to wonder why this bird is crossing the road. >>> and i'm dennis o'donnell. coming up next on "game day" the 49ers do it the old fashioned way. they earn it. we will take you inside the locker room as they continue to build their lead in the nfc west. tim tebow outplaying carson palmer. how today's raiders game impacted the rest of the afc west. reaction next coming up. first kelly slater won then he didn't. today another development. we will ta

than us. but then we started to see the glow. and then the orb of the moon rose into this narrow gap between two twin towers looking north into the rocky mountains. and as that happened, i turned around and as the south -- and i see out of the rocky mountains, i could see a gap where the piedro river flows south and through that gap i could see the desert of northern new mexico and just over the horizon, just about 120 miles away, is chaco canyon, the largest anastazi site in the southwest, just over the horizon. and in between these towers and chaco canyon there are fire signal stations up on top of buttes. every fire signal station is in view of two other signal stations. each of those, four, on and on and on so that a fire would be lit at one spot and everybody would know, you could send messages for hundreds of miles. you could send messages over mountain ranges. there are fire signals all over the four corners, rows and fire signals. i talked to the guy who first discovered these signals and he was just out there mapping archeological sites with a crew

the uses you want. you could send a man to the moon using classical physics. it works. it is effective. if you don't measure anything that tells you the different than you are not going to need to use it. the history of physics is making progress. what happens is you come to the point where it breaks down and you do need to do something different and how you advance. what happens when you do that is the old theory gets absorbed into the new theory. not necessarily wrong but it won't apply over the entire regime you think about. that is how it works. in this what happens is stating when you make a measurement, what is the accuracy with which i made that measurement and what regime does it apply? the little uncertainty that is left over leaves room for something new. if you don't have measuring tools or looking at those scales you might not care but at some point you will get there and need to find something else going on. that is the way physics works. think of the physics we are doing today in that context. service is what i just said. the distance in this case, distance scale is essential as an organizing tool. you would never calculate the traject
