On April 29, an asteroid estimated to be between 1.1 and 2.5 miles wide will fly by Earth. But it's not expected to collide with our planet, thankfully. If it did, the asteroid is"large enough to cause global effects," according to NASA, back when the asteroid was first discovered.
The asteroid is called 52768 and it was first spotted in 1998. It will pass within 3,908,791 miles of Earth, moving at 19,461 miles per hour. The flyby is expected to occur on Wednesday, April 29, at 4:56 a.m. ET, according to NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies. They track Near-Earth Objects that could collide with Earth.

Study: Majority Of Americans Not Prepared For When Sun Engulfs Earth In 7.5 Billion YearsWASHINGTON—Warning that many Americans would be caught completely off guard, researchers at the University of Iowa released an alarming study Friday revealing that the majority of U.S. citizens are not prepared for when the sun engulfs the Earth in 7.5 billion years. “We polled thousands of people across all demographics and found that the average citizen hasn’t even considered what steps they need to take to prepare for the day when, 7.5 billion years from now, our Earth is wholly consumed by the sun,” said lead researcher Dr. Arnold Hatley, adding that 82% of respondents lack savings to purchase items they would need in an emergency like escape pods or sunscreen. “Maybe the sun won’t explode for another 10 billion years, or maybe it’ll blow up in 2 billion years, we really don’t know. But what we do know is that if Earth were scorched down to its rocky core today, literally every single person in the country would die. That’s why we recommend creating a plan with your family on where to meet and stay safe when civilization is wiped from the universe in a flash of fiery horror.” The study also found that only one in four Americans is prepared for the day the moon floats away, causing the tides to cease.

It’s been an ideal existence for her! Sadly, the Lady Gaga we’ve known and loved is dead. Well, not dead in the literal sense. Dead in that she’s finally moved far, far, far away from the rest of us—back to her home planet! This is the same as dying, because how often do you really text your out-of-town friends anyway?
