Asteroid 2029!
 
No, not the game asteroids.

I am talking about an asteroid that has a chance to collide with Earth on April 13th, 2036. It is also estimated that it will come close to the Earth in 2029. Close enough to knock out some of the artificial satellites that are in orbit around the Earth. Thats closer then the moon.

This asteroid is estimated 320m in length, and if it will collide with Earth, it will be the equivalent of 400 megatons of dynamite.
The chance for an impact is 1 in 45,000.

Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions?

The larger outer circle is the moon's orbit, the blue line is the path the asteroid is likely to take, and obviously the green circle is the Earth.

It has a very low chance of hitting, and it will be very cool to watch on April 13th 2029 (thats Friday the 13th btw).
They expect it to glow brightly, even through city sky glow. So prepare your telescopes and far distance imaging technology. This is a once in a thousand year opportunity.

So you'd rather die, then have that hot nurse hang around you?
