Asteroids actually do give me the creeps, much more so than “green meteorites” and certainly much more than comets.
Essentially, they a just big rocks that can, and will - only a matter of time and have in the past - hit the earth like a bullet even if they largely disintegrate before the impact.
It doesn’t have to be the “end of the world” impact, though that could happen though I think some humans will still survive and then repopulate, but even a small one could be like a nuke and imagine one hitting Los Angeles or New York. There will be no police coming to help you in that chaos, you better have your guns if you are nearby and any sort of survivor when the looting starts.
Asteroids. They bug me as much as emerging diseases. Disease has more impact to history than any Napolean or Hitler. And eventually, eventually, so will the horse-headed asteroid. Whatever asteroid it will be, it’s name will be the shape of the stone hurling to earth. The jack-o-latern. The old man’s face. The horse-head.
Thanks for sharing this article-video. September 2017. Interesting stuff. I think I will read Wind in the Willows tonight to take my mind off this. But ... I can’t get enough of it, either. The universe is fascinating.
you have to especially watch out for the hollow point asteroids
