April 13, 2029
This is the day that an asteroid the size of the rose bowl (320 meters) is going to fly between the earth and the moon.
I caught this on Nova last night and, unfortunately, I fell asleep during the show, so I did not get all of the information. The one piece that I do remember is that depending on how the earth’s gravitational pull effects the asteroids trajectory, there is a chance that it will come back 7 years later and hit earth. What will happen? Well, according to NASA, if it hits land, it could devistate a region the size of Texas. If it hits the Pacific ocean, Nova said that it could cause 50 foot waves all along the Pacific coast of the Americas for over 3 hours. Not a pretty picture.
Oh, and by the way, April 13th is a Friday. Seriously.
I don’t know about you, but these definately changes my perspective on what I want to do with my life.
