An asteroid the scale of the Empire State Constructing has a slight likelihood of smashing into Earth, however Neil deGrasse Tyson says the actual fact scientists had been capable of get better samples of the house rock is perhaps even greater information.
Neil joined us Thursday on “TMZ Reside” … speaking us by means of NASA’s outstanding mission to ship a probe — dubbed the OSIRIS-REx — to gather rocks and mud off the traditional asteroid often known as Bennu.
What’s wonderful is that probe launched from Earth 7 years in the past, aiming to hit a transferring goal … and now it is anticipated to land this weekend in Utah!!!
Neil needs to verify everybody’s conscious of simply how spectacular that is — he is throwing a bit jab on the science deniers on the market, too.
BTW, a brand new report revealed Bennu might hit Earth round 2182, however the odds of it taking place are presently about 1 in 3,000 … so we’re in all probability good. 🤷🏽♂️
In fact, marveling at humankind’s scientific accomplishments places new perspective on what a possible alien species would possibly have the ability to do.
Keep in mind, governments and scientists around the globe are taking UFO stories extra severely lately — and Neil says there’s loads of cause to consider we’re not alone within the universe.
However, try his rationale for why they’re in all probability not right here amongst us.

And, in case ya forgot, NdT was singin’ the identical tune final month after we talked to him. Backside line … he hasn’t seen sufficient tangible proof to vary his thoughts about aliens.
Not but, anyway.
