An ASTEROID that is 3 MILES WIDE will be so Close to Earth that you can SEE IT!!

A massive asteroid that's the size of 3 MILES will be make an extremely close encounter with Earth on September 1st that it will be VISIBLE with a telescope!!

The huge rock dubbed "Florence" is so big it will pass by 4.4 million miles from our planet or 18 times the distance between earth and the moon

This is the closet an asteroid of this size that's come by since astronomers began tracking it and gives scientists an up close study of the massive rock

Although alarming, NASA says it will safely past Earth..although it's not the closest asteroid that's been in Earth's path but it's certainly the largest and would wipe out earth indefinitely if impacted

It won't come this close again until the year 2500..but experts warn that an asteroid will hit earth sooner or later as nobody knows when the next big impact will occur..

Would you be a terrified if an Asteroid was about to hit earth?

If it's coming close enough for us to see it, it's trajectory is already probably pretty set. It's not like an asteroid has ever stopped mid-sky, hung a right, and collided into Earth.

What if this was the one though?

So just over a week until we're all dead?

Like when you think you're just gonna drive by a McDonald's but at the last second decide you want a flurry

like every few months were supposed to die for an asteroid

Then reality has gone to pasture and there is sweet fuck all I could do in that case anyway.

Why? Death would be inevitable at that point

And death is terrifying.

Meh, that is not even that close.

It's crazy to think of 4 million miles as close.

Just throw on some Pink Floyd and enjoy the show.

Something isn't quite right here.
