End of the World News: Earth Doomed; NASA Warns About A Killer Asteroid!

End of the world news is slowly creeping the news feeds as we head towards the end of the year. According to some sources, a killer asteroid is about to hit the Earth that will likely end the human race.

Per Inquisitr, a "dinosaur killer" asteroid could hit the Earth. If this happens, it would be the end of the word. As how the report puts it, these asteroids are at the extinction levels. They are 50 to 60 million years apart and has a random course.

A NASA scientists have warned about a comet or asteroid that might hit the Earth. Dr. Joseph Nuth, a researcher with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center announced that if that happens, the humans are not prepared to combat it.

"The biggest problem, basically, is there's not a hell of a lot we can do about it at the moment," said Dr. Nuth per the Guardian. Nuth added that the Earth had already a closer encounter in 1996 and 2014.

Meanwhile, a massive fireball about 50 to 100 meter wide hits and flattened hundreds of square miles in Siberia. The windows were blown to about 30 miles away and witnesses burned their skin. Scientists believe that the said explosion was 185 times stronger than the atomic bomb explosion in Hiroshima in 1945.

Dr. Cathy Plesko believed that there are two ways to deflect the asteroid and one of these is by using a giant cannonball. Plesko explained that this is a very good technology and is even more effective than high explosives.

However, NASA reported earlier that at the time there are no asteroid threats that should worry us. Thus, the end of the world news suggesting an asteroid hitting the Earth causing the latter's demise is unlikely.

"Again, there is no existing evidence that an asteroid or any other celestial object is on a trajectory that will impact Earth," said Paul Chodas manager of NASA Near-Earth Object office. "In fact, not a single one of the known objects has any credible chance of hitting our planet over the next century."
