If the latest forecast of the astronomers Agency Aerospace America (NASA) is likely to become a reality, the "doomsday" is just a moment in which we live about 867 years only!

Scientists at NASA have discovered an asteroid named 1950 DA is currently working on the road to Earth on 16/03/2880.

DA 1950 is such a huge rock with a diameter of about 1,073 m and is moving with velocity 15km/giay. Due to fluctuations occur very close to the Earth, this asteroid has landed in the Atlantic Ocean to the velocity 61.155km/gio.

The researchers estimate that if 1950 DA collide with our planet, its destructive power would be equivalent to 44.8 billion tons of TNT.Although the probability of collision is only 0.3%, but as such, the ability to "clash" with the Earth between 1950 and 50% higher than the other asteroids.

The asteroid was discovered in 1950 on 23.2.1950. The astronomers can only observe the full picture of it within 17 days. Then, this asteroid gradually disappear in half a century, and "re-export" on 31/12/2000.

Optical observations show that 1950 DA rotational speed of 2.1 hours each. It is recognized as the second fastest rotational speed ever for an asteroid the size of it.

But scientists believe that we need not be too worried the "attacks" of 1950. Because of the growth of science and technology today, in a few hundred years, we can fully measure the impact of the 1950 DA surface to change its reflectance and sunlight weather can shift schedule of 1950 easily.
