Numerous scientists and theologians claim to know the exact date on which the world may come to an end.
If you wish to know the exact dates, and what is going to occur, I invite you to stay in this video Titled: the seven most accurate dates in which possibly the world will end.

Number 7.
March 16, 2880.
The planet earth is located in an area of permanent threats.
One of these threats, is already on its way. It is the asteroid named as 1950 AD. This asteroid is considered to have the highest possibility of colliding with the earth.
With a diameter of 1, 3 kilometers and moving at a speed of 15 kilometers per second, this space object is the most threatening.
Studies of NASA scientists claim that the impact zone of this asteroid would be the Atlantic Ocean; this could cause an explosion equivalent to 44800 megatons of TNT. This would be enough to destroy the Earth.
This event would occur on March 16, 2880. Even though there are still many years before this happening takes place, it is creating continuous alarm for the NASA.

Number 6.
Year 2100
Each day around 367 thousand people are born in the world.
Human population grows increasingly while the earth's resources are gradually depleted.
According to a study published in the magazine "Sustainability", such resources would come to an end within 83 years which would mean the final of human life.

Number 5.
Year 2060.
Many persons have dared to foresee when the world will end.
However, one of the greatest physicists in history, Isaac Newton, is the most outstanding   who came to predict that the world's decline will occur in 2060.
This revelation is written in a letter found some years ago.

Number 4.
February 5th 2040.
The universe has plenty of asteroids that could destroy the world.
Threats are real and new hazards against the earth are constantly being discovered.
The turn is now for an asteroid called "2011 ag5". It could be the next one in line to end with this planet.

Number 3.
April 13, 2036.
We should not care about viruses or the food scarcity because what we really should worry about is for the asteroids. Asteroids have the power to eliminate civilizations completely.
They already did it with dinosaurs, and now mankind could be the next.
One out of the 800 hazardous objects for the earth, is especially worrisome
The asteroid Apophis is an object that has 400 meters in diameter and moves dangerously to the earth.
Some claim that the impact would happen in the year 2036, and they recommend being alert.

Number 2.
Year 2030. 
The extreme environmental degradation in which we find ourselves today
The last great natural catastrophes which our planet earth has faced would be the cause that by year 2030 only 20% of the human population will survive.
According to the celebrated scientist James Lovelock, water, electricity and air will only be accessible to the richest.

Number 1.
Year 2021.
Forgetting about asteroids and environmental catastrophes we have a new theory about the end of the world.
Based on an ancient prophecy, a number of apocalyptic events such as floods, earthquakes, plagues and deadly epidemics will result in the end of the world, in the year 2021
Experts indicate that some biblical texts reveal that the world will witness Armageddon, an event known among Christians as the second coming of Jesus.
Dr. Beshore, a theology expert assures that his predictions are based on hidden messages contained in the bible. Also he warns that humanity must be ready because the worst will come in 2021.

Number 0.
February 1st 2019
A new asteroid is coming but different to the others, this one is really huge. The asteroid nt7, and which is within the earth orbit, is the closest menace we have today.
This asteroid with a diameter of 4 kilometers could wipe out an entire continent and cause severe climatic changes if it were to impact on the Earth.
According to astronomers, this asteroid should pass close to Earth, on February 1, 2019.
While it is true that many asteroids circulate near the Earth only a few have a great chance of impacting our planet. However, we must keep the eyes open because bad luck can play us a dirty trick.

You are on a rock speeding through space. On this rock called Earth every single mineral tells you something about planetary formation. This week astronauts and space engineers will unlock the mystery of those minerals as they start an ESA geology field training course to prepare for future exploration of the Moon, Mars and asteroids.

The third edition of the Pangaea campaign – named after the ancient supercontinent – will help participants build their understanding of planetary geology, collect and document interesting rock samples, and assess the most likely places to find traces of life on other planets.

Leading European planetary geologists will equip astronauts with a geologist’s eye to see, feel and understand the building blocks of our Solar System.

From collecting samples to interpreting satellite images and working with robotic tools, the crew will learn how to best explore uncharted worlds.

AN asteroid larger than London’s iconic Big Ben clock tower will whizz past the planet at incredible speeds next week, NASA has warned.

The space rock, dubbed Asteroid 2018 QU1, is longer than nine double decker buses in a row and taller than the Westminster landmark.

NASA estimates the asteroid measures somewhere between 246ft (75m) and 557ft (170m) in diameter. According to the US space agency, Asteroid QU1 will make a so-called “Earth close approach” on Tuesday, September 11. Asteroid QU1 will skim the planet around 4.40am BST (3.40am UTC) from a distance of 0.028 astronomical units (au). 

NASA said: “In terms of orbital elements, NEOs are asteroids and comets with perihelion distance less than 1.3au. “Near-Earth Comets (NECs) are further restricted to include only short-period comets i.e., orbital period less than 200 years. “The vast majority of NEOs are asteroids, referred to as Near-Earth Asteroid.” Asteroid QU1 will zip by at breakneck speeds of around 12.52 km per second or 28,006.4mph


Imagine the Concorde airliner which flew at twice the speed of sound at around 1,350mph (2,179kmh). This asteroid is more than 20 times as fast as the Concorde. After QU1 misses Earth next Tuesday, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory does not predict another flyby. But just nine days after QU1 enters the Earth’s vicinity, a much smaller asteroid is expected to come much closer to Earth.

On September 20, around 10.09pm BST (9.09pm UTC) Asteroid 2017 SL16 will zip past. The asteroid will approach Earth from a distance of 2.03 million miles (3.26 million km) or 8.29 lunar distances. SL16 will continue to return around the same date for the next seven years. One astronomical unit is the equivalent of the distance between the Earth and the Sun, which is more than 93 million miles (149.6 million km) from our home wold.

Thus means Asteroid QU1 will fly by at a distance of 2.6 million miles (4.18 million km).  This gap is equivalent to just over 10-times the distance to the Moon – 10.9 lunar distances. However, any asteroid or comet which even approaches our home world within 0.05au is immediately classified by NASA as a “Near-Earth Object” (NEO).

A POTENTIALLY catastrophic leak found on-board the International Space Station (ISS) was MAN-MADE say Russia which claims it could be an act of sabotage.

Last week, astronauts on the ISS awoke to worrying news that a leak on space station was causing it to lose oxygen.

The six people on the ISS hurried to find the minute hole before they ran out of air.

It was originally thought the leak, which was fortunately quickly discovered and sealed, was caused by a tiny meteor which hit the ISS, but an investigation from Russia has revealed the puncture was man-made.

A special commission from the Russian State Space Corporation Roscosmos found that the hole was made from the inside, and not the outside – ruling out any impacts from space debris.

Mr Rogozin says everything is now being done to identify the culprit, hinting it could have been made by an employee on the ground at Energia Rocket – the Russian manufacturer of the space craft.

Mr Rogozin continued: “It is a matter of honour for Energia Rocket and Space Corporation to find the one responsible for that, to find out whether it was an accidental defect or a deliberate spoilage and where it was done - either on Earth or in space.”

One anonymous source at Energia told RIA Novosti that "the hole was made on the ground" and that "[t]he person responsible for the act of negligence has been identified”.

Another unnamed person said the hole was accidentally drilled by an Energia employee who patched it up, instead of reporting their mistake.

The second person told RIA: "Once in orbit, the glue dried and was squeezed out, opening the hole.”

However, Mr Rogozin implied that he is unconvinced it was an accidental hole, adding that the culprit has yet to be found.

He told reporters: "Now it is essential to see the reason, to learn the name of the one responsible for that.

"And we will find out, without fail.”

Salt plumes and landlocked desert dust plumes are visible in this image.

We live our whole lives wandering from one cloud of dust to the next. The air is full of the stuff: salt wafting in from the sea, black carbon soot from wildfires and all sorts of dusty emissions from heavy industry.

Usually, all that aerosolized gunk is invisible to us — but not to NASA's satellites and ground sensors. In a stunning new illustration, shown above, NASA's Earth Observatory reveals the invisible, tiny particles swirling around us.

NASA combined data from multiple sensors on satellites such as the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensors on Aqua and Terra, as well as ground based sensors, to create a colorized image of the aerosol plumes. [Earth Pictures: Iconic Images of Earth from Space]

Some of these dust clouds are the result of weather events. Hurricane Lane near Hawaii and typhoons Soulik and Cimaron off the coast of Japan have all kicked sea salt into the atmosphere. Over the Sahara Desert in northwest Africa and the Taklamakan Desert in northwest China, landlocked winds have similarly formed clouds of fine particles.


Western North America and south-central Africa reveal signatures of another sort of aerosol: the smoke from wildfires, which are often set by humans — either intentionally, as part of annual agricultural cycles in Africa, or through carelessness as in North America. Some of that smoke from North America appears to have drifted east over the Atlantic Ocean in the image.

NASA noted that this image wasn't shot by a single camera and isn't even a composite of a group of images directly taken by satellites or ground sensors. Instead, NASA used some careful mathematics to bring together data from a range of different types of sources in order to figure out where the densest concentrations of loose particles in the atmosphere are right now.
