There's An Over Mile Wide Asteroid Visiting Before Memorial Day Weekend
Since the mid-90s, the subject of asteroids impacting the earth has been on the minds of space scientists around the globe. There were the findings of the 1997 Xf-11 and how it was projected to strike the Atlantic Ocean in 30 years. The incident in Russia destroyed 3,000 windows, and injured people, lighting up the skies in a blinding flash of light. There’ve even been movies that prayed on the curiosity and fear of our mortality in the case of another extinction-level event involving an asteroid. 2022 has been abuzz with asteroid activity and shows no sign of slowing down or sign that the gravity of the events is getting less threatening.
