A huge 1,000-metre wide asteroid is due to pass by the earth at very close proximity, leaving some scientists scared that an unprecedented disaster is in store for us.
The asteroid named ’2014-YB35′ will skim past the earth on Friday, travelling at 23,000 mph.
Express.co.uk reports:
Small meteorites often pass close by however one of this size is a once in 5,000-year occurrence, according to concerned astronomers.
A collision with Earth would unleash an explosive force equivalent to more than 15,000 million tonnes – 15,000 megatons – of TNT.
The path of the asteroid is shown below in an animated ‘trajectory map’ released by NASA. It can clearly be seen only narrowly missing the Earth.
Any impact would trigger devastating changes in the climate, earthquakes and tsunamis leading to the eradication of entire communities.
