Ukrainian
astronomers freshly reported that a huge asteroid that is Earth size,
could hit our planet in 18 years from now, on August 26, 2032. The
asteroid is heard to be traveling with a destructive power of 50 times
greater the biggest nuclear bomb ever detonated.
We can
ignore this news as in past many astronomers have reported that Earth
will collide with asteroids and lead to a destruction. But nothing
really happened. However, Ukrainian astronomers reports got strength as
five other astronomy groups in Italy, the UK, Spain and Russia’s
Siberian republic of Buryatia have confirmed this news too. This
collision might result in 2,500 tons of TNT.
If this
doesn't happen, another set of astronomers have reported that much
heavier asteroid is on the way to hit the Earth and this might happen in
the year 2880 on March 16. Year 2880 sounds too far and by then we
don't know whether life will exist on Earth considering the availability
of natural resources.
This
asteroid is called 1950 DA but has chances of one in 4000 of smashing
the Earth. Scientists could diver the asteroids path by various methods
which can change its reflectivity and allow sunlight to do the work of
pushing the asteroid.
Currently NASA is tracking 1,400 hazardous asteroid which can possibly hit the Earth and can have major impact on life.
