5 Asteroids Heading towards Earth to Finish the Job, is 2020 Cursed?
What the heck is wrong with this year??? Never have see seen so much destruction in a single year… Australian Wild Fires, Coronavirus, Locust Invasions, Riots, Earth’s Magnetic Field is Weakening and now Asteroids??
In Europe they declared that this year there will be a drought like never seen before, instead they are getting rains like never seen before, each and every single day…...
Four asteroids on COLLISION course with Earth
It’s a scenario straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster, an asteroid is careening towards Earth and is set to wipe out human existence. To mark Asteroid Day, here are four space rocks on a collision course with our planet.
The United Nations fears that the possibility of an asteroid smashing into a densely populated area isn’t being taken seriously enough, so it designated June 30 as International...
NASA Wants to Nuke Asteroids That Threaten to Destroy Earth
NASA has joined forces with a nuclear arms agency to learn more about how to deflect, or possibly destroy with nuclear power, asteroids or comets that may collide with Earth and obliterate the planet.
Comets and asteroids are the cosmic rubble left over from the birth of the solar system. Composed primarily of dirty ice, comets are often knocked loose from their home orbits beyond Pluto bringing them...
US keeps atomic weapons to defend earth from asteroid attacks
The US cites a potential asteroid attack for the delay in the dismantling of its nuclear weapons.
The United States holds on to its stockpile of nuclear weapons in order to defend the earth against a potential asteroid attack, according to a report.
Government auditors have found that, among other reasons, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is delaying the dismantling of the nation’s...
Asteroid explosions in Earth's atmosphere is common
There have been 26 nuclear-scale asteroid explosions in the Earth’s atmosphere between 2001 and 2013, according to a new report. The most powerful of the impacts was dozens of times the magnitude of the atom bomb that devastated Hiroshima, Japan in 1945.
Most of the asteroid explosions occurred much too high in the atmosphere to do any damage on the ground, according to findings by the Nuclear Test...
New telescope to guard Earth from killer asteroids
Some 500,000 asteroids are circulating near-Earth space and some of them may pose a real danger to our planet. But a US company says it plans to build a telescope that will be able to watch them.
Some asteroids may collide with Earth between 2020 and 2030, and only about 10,000 out of half a million have been catalogued to date – so time is of the essence. But the B612 Foundation is certain its...
NEOShield set to assess Earth defense
A new international project is scheduled to be launched to assess the threat posed by asteroids or comets and look for solutions to protect Earth from an impact.
The new European-led NEOShield project will calculate any threat posed by Near Earth Objects (NEO) and figure the best possible way to shield the Earth.
The project initiated by the German space agency’s (DLR) Institute of Planetary...
