NASA is Going to Crash a Spacecraft Into an Asteroid on Sept. 26 – Watch Live
DART – the Double Asteroid Redirect Test – is zeroing in on its target. The first mission to impact and move an asteroid is just days away from its goal. The impact will happen at 7:15 p.m. EDT (23:15 UTC) on September 26, 2022. Earlier this month, NASA reported that DART had its first look […]
Fossilized Leg of Dinosaur Ripped Off by Catastrophic Asteroid Impact Found
Scientists now know that a massive Yucatan asteroid struck the earth 66 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous Period, ultimately causing most species of dinosaur to go extinct.

Asteroid the size of Eiffel Tower heading for Earth in December
A large asteroid approximately 330 meters long is heading for Earth in early December, according to NASA’s asteroid tracker. Dubbed 4660 Nereus, or 1982 DB, this vaguely egg-shaped asteroid has a size making it taller than the Eiffel Tower and nearly twice as tall as the Washington Monument. It is set to pass by the planet […]
THAT Asteroid Only Accelerated Inevitable Dinosaur Extinction
A team of scientists have discovered dinosaurs were on a downturn about 76 million years ago, 10 million years before the asteroid hit Chicxulub in modern Mexico causing the mass extinction of non-avian dinosaurs, about 66 million years ago. The new study published in the journal Nature Communications concludes that the reason for this decline […]

Tom Horn Says an Asteroid Will Strike Earth in 2029, Unleashing an ‘Alien Virus’ That Will Give Rise to the Antichrist
While televangelist Jim Bakker’s daily television program has always been a repository for misinformation, baseless conspiracy theories, and End Times fearmongering, his show has gotten decidedly stranger in recent days. Earlier this week, Bakker interviewed right-wing conspiracy theorist Steve Quayle, who spent two programs warning about aliens, demons, trans-dimensional beings, and “diseases that are designed […]
US spacecraft touches surface of asteroid in mission to grab rock sample
A NASA spacecraft successfully made a brief stop on an asteroid 200 million miles from Earth to collect a sample from its surface, officials have confirmed. “Touchdown declared,” one flight controller announced to cheers and applause early on Wednesday. “Sampling is in progress.” The Osiris-Rex craft was attempting to collect a handful of rubble from […]
Neil deGrasse Tyson Warns Asteroid Could Hit U.S. Day Before November Election
An asteroid hurtling through space at more than 25,000 miles per hour is on a trajectory to hit the United States the day before the presidential election, but it’s probably not going to end life on earth, says Neil deGrasse Tyson. The famous astrophysicist posted a photo of the giant space rock hurtling towards planet […]
