OMG! OMG! (Or for the older readers: “Oh My Golly Gosh!”)
It’s the end, THE END! 
An asteroid is on its way. It’ll be here at 2:30 on Monday afternoon UK time. We all know what asteroids have done in the past. Some speculate that they wiped out the dinosaurs. So, will we survive?
It’s good to know your enemy. Our silent assassin is “2011MD”, a seemingly sterile name for something that could threaten our very existence.
In order to prepare you for the outcome of this major event, here are the choices of likely scenarios you can expect within a few hours of 2:30 on Monday afternoon.
Are you ready for your destiny?
1) 2011MD will strike the earth with such precision that it will skew the axis of our planet, immediately changing our orbit around the sun. The impact will cause widespread instant destruction for hundreds of miles around the impact area, and the dust that is vaporised into the atmosphere will choke the air of sunlight, immediately reducing temperatures and making it permanently night-time. This will be similar to how it becomes adjacent to an erupting volcano, only a million times worse. Whilst some humans will survive, life as we know it will be wiped out, societies will have been instantly ripped apart with only a handful of survivors fighting each other for the remains of food. To all intents and purposes, that’s it; We’re gone.
2) 2011MD will come so close to the earth that its influence will be felt as it attracts our oceans towards it, causing huge tsunamis across the world, even in places not accustomed to them, wiping out large cities and population centres causing extensive loss of life. Our atmosphere will be filled with contaminants and the climate will be completely changed and disrupted.
3) 2011MD will interleave between the earth and the moon, disrupting the way the moon modulates the influence of the sun on our planet causing violent and unexpected weather reactions and interruption to electricity supplies.
4) 2011MD will enter the belt where our geo-stationary satellites sit, knocking out satellite broadcasting, GPS and Satnav, and global communications for years until we can finally replace them.
5) 2011MD is actually an interstellar craft and will appear to miss us and act as if it is being ‘slung-shot’ around our planet by hitch-hiking on our gravitational field. When it gets to its closest point, space aliens will leave it via much smaller flying saucers and head to earth in order to examine humanity and decide whether we are good or not. Some suggest they might wipe us all out if we are bad, others suggest they might laugh and consider us far too immature for ‘first contact’, and so go into hiding until the next interstellar craft can pick them up again.
6) 2011MD will come within 12,000 kilometres of the earth’s surface (the moon is on average 384,403 kilometres from earth) passing uneventfully through the zone where our geo-stationary satellites are, and head off in a new course as a result of the influence of our gravitational field. It will be visible through even the simplest of telescopes as it passes overhead, but other than that we won’t even know it’s there.
