Russian scientists have concluded that an 1,100-foot-long asteroid could hit the Earth—and they even have an exact date for its impact.
According to the Huffington Post, researchers at St. Petersburg State University have marked April 13, 2036 as the date that the asteroid, named Apophis, might strike the planet. Professor Leonid Sokolov said that while the chances of impact were slim, all possible outcomes should be planned for. He also said that Apophis could break up into smaller pieces that could smack into the Earth in years to come.
