Bennu’s Intergalactical Glitterspray Show!

OK, not actually glitterspray. Lots of tiny moons. Micromoons?

Exploding out of Bennu, which is an asteroid circling way out near Pluto right now, but will intersect Earth’s orbit in September 2060. And in 2135. And in 2175. And maybe soon again after that.

Doomsayers, prepare yourselves!

(Cumulative 1 in 2700 chance it’ll hit Earth by then. Too bad Bruce Willis won’t be around to save us.)

  1. We used to have intrakitchen glitterspray shows when our daughters were young. It’s probably still lurking in a few nooks and crannies. 🙂
