FUN FACT OF THE WEEK

.

What is “Apophis”?

(A) A new anti-anxiety drug

(B) The latest sensational racehorse

(C) The search engine which will blow away Google

(D) The name of James Cameron’s next film.

Answer:

Maybe.

“Based on available data, astronomers give Apophis - a
1,000-foot wide chunk of space debris - a 1-in-15,000
chance of a 2036 strike. Yet if the asteroid hits,
they add, damage to infrastructure alone could exceed
$400 billion.”
