Default Asteroid flies under satellites. Big asteroid 1/60 odds to hit 2029

This asteroid, if it hit the earth at a 90 degree angle, would be about twice as powerfull as Hiroshima.

Astronomers spotted an asteroid this week AFTER it had flown past Earth on a course that took it so close to the planet it was below the orbits of some satellites.

This one will explode with a force of 1,900 Megatons of TNT.
Odds of it hitting in April 13, 2029? 1/60. Have a nice day!

Not to alarm people further, but April 13, 2029 is also Friday the 13th! We're doomed!!!!

I'll be on my roof with a 6 pack of beer.
