If astronomers are right, all life on this planet could be extinguished in less than 30 years from now. Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have detected a large object the size of Manhattan possibly on a collision course with Earth. Using their Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE), the 10-mile wide object was found approximately 51 million miles from Earth. Scientists believe that during a close encounter with Mars, the asteroid was nudged slightly off its usual orbit and may currently be on a high speed collision course with our fragile planet.

The asteroid is calculated to have a potentially lethal encounter with the Earth on March 35, 2041. Astronomers have placed the odds of an impact at 1 in 2.04, which is by far the most unprecedented risk ever faced to humanity, let alone from asteroids. Such an impact could potentially end civilization as we know it.

More information will be posted here as the story develops...

Some of us will be pushing up daisies by then. Or at least suffering dementia so we won't care... Happy days?!

March 35th, 2041, huh? I wasn't aware March had leap years, let alone 4 in the same year.

Between that and the ridiculously exact chance of the event (despite being almost mathematically impossible to predict without a much larger margin of error), I have a feeling that this prediction will turn out to be as accurate and well-founded as my hope that Warlords of Draenor would release this summer.

If I'm wrong, I guess Blizzcon will tease that the new expansion that year will be WoW: Cataclysm II, and they still won't release it until March 36th.
