Cosmic Collisions

I went to see Cosmic Collisions- the new show at OMSI. It was pretty good, I expect so much from entertainment now that I am not impressed that easily. However, after the show, the scientist stood up and talked about astroids hitting the earth and how the impact killed the dinosours. And then he made a slight comment about how there could be another collision in 2029. I dismissed it and left the show thinking about how it was a pretty good show on how our planet was created and how our moon was created.

Tonight while Michael and I were talking, I remembered what the scientist said about the astroid. So I googled- 2029 Astroid. Already 305,000 websites on it. Appraently on April 13th, 2029 an astroid will be sliding in between our earth and our moon. Scientist believe it will miss the earth but Nasa says that there is still a 1 in 60 chance it will collide. 1 in 60? Are you kidding me? That's pretty close. Anyway, I thought this was so interesting. Michael and I already have a date set for that night- to sit out in our backyard and watch the sky.
