“A 400 meter asteroid threatens to blow up the whole earth.”
say the least, alarming news came from Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogzin on Twitter.

made Rogzin terrified is an asteroid that passed the Earth on 16 September. The distance was 6.7 million kilometers. It is 17 times longer than the distance between Earth and the moon.

The Guardian reports that the asteroid still be “potentially dangerous.” But it does not stop there. Experts have studied the asteroid orbit, and notes that it may come close to Earth again in the year, 2032.

risk that it will hit our planet is quite small. More particularly, the one in 63, 000. That did not stop some doom headlines from starting to spread on the network.

To calm the situation published U.S. space agency NASA a “reality check” and they conclude that the asteroid with 99.98 percent probability will miss us.
