NASA Warns Massive “Potentially Hazardous Asteroid' [COMING NEAR]

NASA Scientists say Asteroid 7482 is 2 1/2 times the size of the Empire State building and is headed towards earth. Coming within 1.2 m miles, this is as close as it gets.

In just days, this kilometer-wide asteroid, will be uncomfortably close to us. NASA has designated it as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA), and it is hurtling towards the center of the Solar System faster than its predecessor that ended the age of the dinosaurs.

Welcome to Factnomenal! In today’s video we examine the threat to humanity posed by this visitor and others in our cosmic neighborhood, along with what NASA is doing right this minute to prepare for the planet-changing event astronomers say is coming.

Makes sense, the movie Don't Look Up was based on a true story

[genogeno]

I think humanity is doomed already without the help of asteroids.

Asteroid: "you're all going to die"

NASA: "Don't worry guys, we're going to throw this toaster at it!"

[deplorablevet]

Your Right. The one we don't see, will get us.

[spacejunkie]

I hope the government listens to NASA. Wait, the government is NASA. We're screwed!

[juanitafalin]

Nice to know that we learing about it before not after. Let's hope 🙏 it misses us completely.

[funnyguyable]

here is a little perspective on the speed of these things. if it hits the deepest part of the ocean let's say mariana trench, from the time of impacting the water to getting to the very bottom will take approx. 0.5 seconds.

You know the funny thing is it always winds up being human interaction that causes the most harm

[monsieur_gyoo]

Before you panic, people, do your research and fact checking. This asteroid is a safe distance away

[zleviz]

If something like that hits I'd wanna die on impact from the Shockwave, don't wanna freeze starve or die of lack of oxygen or radiation

[eMCEe]

Amazing insights. Excellent editing and narration. Terrifying possibilities. Must be something serious they trying to play cue ball with asteroids. The universe is awesome in its exceptionality to all things planned.

[brotherspartacus]

I swear they put crap in movies just to slap us in the face

“And I saw something like a great mountain burning with fire and it was cast into the sea.” -Revelation
We have a date with an asteroid, folks. Movies such as Armageddon and Don’t Look Up are predictive programming.

[moistmike]

I'm really hoping that damned asteroid will have the sense to land on Washington D.C.

[incognito-yjgu]

Good news: The asteroid will miss us.
Bad news: We will all still die from something.

[SweetLilWren]

Mostly concerned about the DART thing pushing the asteroid it hits into a crash course with us at a later time

[kingchiles]

Man I'm scared.. I'm just enjoying my children as much as possible and leaving it in God's hands.

[johnmanni]

Damn how did revelations know about the effect of astroids hitting the ocean, as it states the third of the moon would be struck and the fiery hells stone would make the earth hot and even the beast would gnash his teeth out of pain form the heat

[goggleheroomegamaple]

YOU'RE GOOD! YOU'RE GOOD! YOU'RE GOOD! YOU'RE GOOD! YOU'RE GOOD! (as it scrapes against our atmosphere)

[carltonpratt]

Solution could and electromagnet pulse(EMP) change its course.
In theory most asteroids are made of some type of metal
