What’ll happen when 3200 Phaethon sweeps past Earth? Nothing!
Well, shtfplan,com (btw, I love that website) will sell a lot of freeze-dried food off the fear mongering but otherwise, yeah..nuthin'.
People will sneeze more frequently due to the tidal effects on nose hair.
In an astounding coincidence, the 1000 foot wide asteroid known as 99942 Apophis was struck by a very small asteroid knocking it out of its predicted orbit and sending it careening into the three mile wide asteroid 3200 Phaethon. Both asteroids then took up new orbits, both of which intersect Earth’s orbit at roughly the same time, perhaps separated by a decade or two. We’ll know more after Apophis hits. Stay tuned ...
