Last 2 days have broken the pattern of asteroid flybies that were happening every day. There was no asteroid posing a threat to Earth yesterday, but one is coming today, and it is huge. NASA has warned that a humongous asteroid, named Asteroid 2020 PT4 is heading dangerously towards Earth.
SHOCKING: Planet Earth seeks asteroid to strike it
NASA recently intercepted a desperate cry for help from planet Earth to any asteroid capable and willing to strike the planet and eliminate humanity.
Just by chance NASA scientists found an encrypted message being beamed out into the cosmos earlier this week. It turns out the Earth is concerned about the recent technological development of its least favorite animal.
NASA’s first asteroid deterrent test is 2 weeks away
We are less than two weeks from the first ever Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission, where NASA will test a new planetary defense system that involves slamming a satellite into an asteroid, opening a new era for the solar system.
While it won't be as dramatic as Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck's hit movie "Armageddon," DART will be a significant milestone for the space agency when it slams headfirst into a small asteroid on Sept. 26, destroying itself, NASA shared.
NASA to crash a spacecraft into an asteroid in humanity's first planetary defence test | ...
It's the familiar plot of every 'end of the world' movie: an asteroid is on a collision course with Earth, and the only one who can save humanity is Bruce Willis in a space jumpsuit.
While the 90s cult classics Armageddon and Deep Impact may only be science fiction, NASA is taking planetary defence seriously.

NASA is preparing to test its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), a mission to demonstrate the world's first planetary defense system, designed to deflect an asteroid from a potential doomsday collision with Earth.
NASA Deals With Space Debris And Asteroid Threats - NASA Watch
Keith’s Note: NASA is increasingly engaged in understanding the threats posed by collision of human-made objects in Earth orbit as well as naturally occurring threats posed by asteroids – as is evidenced by news in last week. More on DART and orbital debris below.
'Dimpled white asteroid' hits man's windshield, helps stimulate economy | Letters To Editor | ...
Drivers beware! A dimpled white asteroid crashed into the windshield of my car while I was driving on Central Avenue on the Friday before Labor Day (Sept. 2) around 3 p.m.
The incident took place a few hundred feet west of the entrance to the Airport Golf Course. The point of impact was right in front of the steering wheel.

Up until now, the asteroid known as (22) Kalliope was deemed to be rather lonely. Well, not entirely lonely, as it actually has a moon in orbit: Linus .
DANGER! Aircraft-sized asteroid heading for Earth tomorrow
The Asteroid 2020 PT4 will just miss Earth on September 14, which is tomorrow at a distance of 7.1 million kilometers. It is travelling at a staggering speed of 39,024 kilometers per hour. The asteroid is nearly the size of a commercial aircraft with a width of nearly 120 feet.
Asteroid 2020 PT4 is part of the Apollo group of asteroids. According to the-sky.org, this asteroid takes almost 734 days to complete one orbit of the Sun, during which its farthest distance from the Sun is 355 million kilometers and nearest distance is 122 million kilometers.
