According to some computer models an early indication is given that an asteroid is headed towards the earth that may crush on earth’s surface in the year 2070 or earlier.

The data received is vague and is yet to be confirmed but the size and shape of the series of asteroids coming earth’s way is very scary.

Asteroids are rocky and metallic objects that orbit the Sun but are too small to be considered planets.

Some consider the Asteroids as part of a exploded planet. Some believe that these are parts of solar system that could not form a planet. Most Asteroids are in the Asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter orbit.

Many of these Asteroids sometimes come from other solar systems and even other Galaxies. That is when traditional Asteroid models fail. According to scientists in Delhi, the initial projected model though not confirmed shows that the Asteroids are not from Solar System and are coming a large cluster.
