New Asteroids Found (A is for Armageddon)

Dark Asteroids have been found near Earth. Look to the skies ... read the New Scientist article

WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN?
In the next twenty-five years we’re on an asteroid hit list. Look to the skies!

WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR?
A large flaming object in the sky that isn’t usually there and isn’t the Sun in a different position.

WHEN SHOULD I START TO PANIC?
Soon. Keep the pets indoors, it’s almost fireworks night.

POSSIBILITY IT WILL HAPPEN?
0–100%. Depends how good its aim is.

WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?
Have a video camera ready to capture any space rocks that breach the Earth’s atmosphere. If it doesn’t wipe us out then you’ve got great YouTube footage.*
