Although unlikely, the results are extremely devestating.

A meteorite about the size of Texas will wipe out almost all the life on this planet.



It's a pretty a long video, especially on Youtube. I'm surprised this was posted before 2005. That's when Youtube was created if I remember correctly.

An asteroid has crashed on a land mass ...

Which happened on early October. I believe the chance of that happening is about 30%, theoretically. Moving on, it landed on Indonesia and this space rock is one of the biggest objects that crashed on Earth from space since 1994. This asteroid is named 8TA9D69 by NASA. It's common for space objects to named by a code consisting of numbers and letters. There were secret satellites that observed the meteorite, but that won't be released to the public until further notice.



P.S. Sorry that it's not in English, but it gives you a better glimpse on what happened on that day.

NASA is going to bomb the moon on Friday ...


Well ... I wouldn't really say bomb, since they're not using an explosive on it. It's just a projectile launched at twice the speed of a bullet. Then it will disperse quite a lot of debris where the satelite will try to capture to see if there's any water in them.
