An asteroid with a surface of 1.1 kilometers will pass very close to planet Earth on 2/2/18 at a speed of 107,826 kilometers. Scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (USA) warn that if the asteroid hits the Earth, the consequences would have a "very severe global" character and would last several years. Our planet would become a much darker place, cold and dry. In the "worst case", the soot will remain in the atmosphere for about 10 years, while the dust would take six years to settle. Average temperatures around the world would drop to 8 掳 C, which would place us in a new era of ice. However, the predictions of the space base, according to the calculations made in the follow-up, rule out that the asteroid collides with the Earth.
