An asteroid will hit the earth in 2022
An asteroid the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, is barreling towards Earth and NASA have revealed the exact date it could strike our planet.
The rock that is heading towards Earth, a whopping 420ft across, is predicted to collide with the planet on May 6, 2022. The American space agency have said that if the asteroid continues on its current trajectory, it could strike with a force of 230 kilotons (230,000 tonnes of TNT).
As a result, the asteroid has been flagged for close attention by their near-Earth monitoring system, “Sentry”.
The "Sentry" is a highly automated collision monitoring system that continually scans the most current asteroid catalogue for possibilities of future impact with Earth over the next 100 years.
Due to the danger posed by a future collision, space agencies around the world are developing ways to avert a possible extinction event.
Researchers and spacecraft engineers from across Europe and the US are working on a mission to "deflect" a space rock and will attempt to redirect the smaller part of a pre-selected double asteroid called Didymos.
