Things in Space That Kill Us

Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist, describes with humor what it would be like to die by being sucked into a black hole, and also describes the Apophis asteroid that might hit earth in our lifetime.

The 99942 Apophis asteroid might impact Earth on April 13, 2036, in which case it would likely wipe out the West coast of the U.S. with several tsunamis. According to Wikipedia the chance is only 1 in 45,000. Of course, if an asteroid doesn’t kill us, there’s always Y2K38.
