Asteroid with our name on it

Well, I like space, I like informative and visually pleasing graphs and I like asteroids, so I guess this is like the perfect storm or something: here you can see the 17 near Earth objects (NEO) that are closest to hitting us. There are many more of course, but these are the 1,000m diameter and up boys that really would spell doom for us if they hit. Have a look!

So, mark july 8th 2027 in your calendar and hope for the best! :D
