It’s the end of the year and one particular tabloid newspaper is again warning us that it could soon be the end of the world — yes, asteroid 2019 AE3 is in our vicinity and the apocalypse is coming.
In keeping with the tabloid drama, here’s a link to IMPACT! — a compendium of all the movies and TV dramas ever made that feature Earth-threatening asteroids or comets. You can choose what to watch to see what’s unlikely to take place on 2 January 2020.
NASA calculates that the 13 metre-wide asteroid 2019 AE3 will miss us by a distance of nearly two million kilometres, which is more than five times the Earth-Moon distance.
But if it’s drama you want, I can guarantee it’s on the IMPACT! list — everything ever made from 1916 to date.
Happy New Year!
