Scientists in the Universidad de Valladolid in Spain have calculated that a massive asteroid, called 1999 RQ36, has a 1-in-1000 chance of striking the Earth on 24 September 2182.
It seems that this asteroid is one of the Potentially Hazardous Asteroids group, which all have the possibility of hitting the Earth due to their orbits and are all considered likely to cause damage. At the moment, the one causing concern is hiding behind the Sun and will not be visible until the spring of next year.
As Private Frazer would say: ‘We’re doomed! Doomed!’
