Luke 21:25,26 “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.
A new report shows that asteroids caused more than two dozen nuclear-level explosions in the Earth’s atmosphere.
The report from the B612 Foundation shows that the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization recorded 26 nuclear-level explosions between 2000 and 2013. One blast was dozens of times stronger than the Hiroshima bomb with an equivalent power of 16 kilotons of TNT.
Scientists quoted in the report say that the explosions were too high in the atmosphere to cause serious damage on the ground. However, the explosions show the significant threat to the planet from asteroid impacts.
“While most large asteroids with the potential to destroy an entire country or continent have been detected, less than 10,000 of the more than a million dangerous asteroids with the potential to destroy an entire major metropolitan area have been found by all existing space or terrestrially operated observatories,” former astronaut Ed Lu said.
Lu referenced the 2013 500-kiloton meteor explosion over Russia that caused significant damage to hundreds of square miles of homes and businesses.
