An asteroid traveling at 23,000mph could crash into earth on April 13, 2036 killing millions causing global chaos. In a scene straight from a science-fiction film, scientists are predicting that the 300-yard-wide Apophis slam into the planet.
If the comet passes through a narrow gravitational keyhole in April 2029 it will be on course for a massive collision seven years later. The force of earth’s gravity is so great that if the asteroid goes through the hole its path could be ‘tweaked’ – sending it straight towards us.
Donald Yeomans, head of Nasa’s Near Earth Object Program office, said there was a chance the asteroid could collide with earth.
