Contact is taking a holiday!

Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.

When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.

Close Encounter

April 20, 2017;

Asteroid 2014 JO25, an asteroid the size of the Rock of Gibraltar, has just passed by Earth at a distance of only 1.8 million km (1.1 million miles) – the closest big asteroid since 2004. The next known similar event will occur in 2027 when the half-mile-wide asteroid 1999 AN10 will fly by at about 380,000 km (236,000 miles).
