Forget being eco friendly we are all going to die
Well that is if we make it to the year 2036, which is the time when the 240 mile wide asteroid Apophis is due to hit the earth, or maybe not!
But fear not because a team of British scientists are on the job and they have a plan that could see the planet saved, we will know more in 2029 when the asteroid passes within 22,000 miles of the earth. The asteroid is in an orbit of the sun, in a similar way to which the earth and other planets are.
As the asteroid passes earth in 2029 it could be influenced by earths gravity, this could then make it more likely to hit earth on the 13th April 2036, so don’t make any arrangements for that day as you may be late. The impact would be the equivalent of 100,000 Hiroshima nuclear bombs all going off at the same time.
Reminds me of the movies.
