You can relax now. NASA has largely dismissed a Russian report that an asteroid larger than two football fields could hit Earth by 2036. Free Beer & Hot Wings discussed this story about a asteroid named Apophis yesterday morning and during the happy hour which caused my curiosity, so I did some research. ”99942 Apophis,” is [...]
