A piece of space junk that has been given
the apt name of ‘WTF’ is heading straight
for Earth – and will crash into us in less
than a month.
No one seems to know exactly what the
flying object actually is – hence the name
– but they are in no doubt we are in its
path.
All anyone is sure off is that it is about
two metres wide and could be hollow
inside – meaning it might be man-made.
But how would a man-made object be hurtling in space and on a collision course
with the planet where it originated?
Astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell explained: “[It could be] a lost piece of space history that’s come back to haunt us.”
Nature News suggested that it could be a
piece of rocket from a recent space
mission – possibly even from Saturn V
(above) , the first rocket to launch
astronauts to the moon.
Whatever WT1190F is, we can at least hold off on any panic that it might do
some serious damage to life on Earth.
If it doesn’t burn up when entering the
planet’s atmosphere, it is on course to land in the Indian Ocean, just off the
coast of Sri Lanka, on November 13.
However, astronomy software developer
Bill Gray added: “I would not necessarily
want to be going fishing directly
underneath it.”
Don’t worry, we have no intention of doing that.
