On April 13th, 2029, an asteroid is on course to come within 18,600 miles of hitting Earth, according to NASA. That’s closer than the orbit of satellites. The asteroid is about 320 meters in diameter, large enough to go through the Earth’s atmosphere, “devastating a region the size of, say, Texas”. I love how asteroids are often compared to the size of Texas if they were to hit there. Since I live in Texas, I’d rather not have the mental image of it being destroyed. Regardless, this does sound like a pretty close call, and may end up being a cool light show.
