NASA discovers more than 1000 life-ending asteroids perilously close to Earth
ST. HILDEGARD SPOKE OF AN ENDTIME COMET TO HIT. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME AS THE PLANET X SYSTEM DRAWS CLOSER.
NASA astronomers have discovered more than 1000 asteroids headed
towards Earth – and some could smash into the planet with catastrophic,
life-ending, consequences. The American space agency is working with a
host of other countries on an urgent mission to find ways of redirecting
the giant flying rocks away from civilization. Meteors can travel at
unimaginable speeds and, irrespective of size, carry enough kinetic energy to punch holes in cities. NASA puts the average
speed of an asteroid at around 60,000mph. But the recently-spotted
‘Oumuamua,’ a cigar-shaped asteroid from outside our solar system
reached a peak speed of 196,000mph (87.3 km/s). A collision at that
speed would have the destructive impact of a large nuclear warhead.A
meteor close to the Yukon Peninsula, Mexico, famously killed off the
dinosaurs 65 million years ago after the resulting ash cloud triggered
the equivalent of a nuclear winter.
