Imagine if scientists discovered a giant asteroid with a 72% chance of hitting the Earth in about 14 years — a space rock so big that it could not only take out a city but devastate a whole region.

In an animated video scientists were able to show what would happen to the Earth if the largest asteroid in our solar system was to make contact. The video shows the asteroid’s shadow blocking out ...

A shocking simulation has revealed what would happen if an enormous asteroid collided with Earth - and it’s not a pretty picture. The simulation was created by the Discovery Channel back in 2008, but ...
