On April 13, 2029, an asteroid the size of two and a half football fields, a solid rock named for the Egyptian god of evil and destruction, will come out of the heavens moving at 4 miles per second (6.4 kilometers per second), streaking as close as 18,300 miles (29,300 kilometers). That’s closer than the geosynchronous satellites orbiting Earth. |
