Okay, possibly related to zombies because it could spit out some virus'y stuff that could possibly land on the earth which could kinda cause a weird mutation that makes the dead rise.

Hopefully its the slower kind and not the fast ones.

A huge asteroid will squeak by Earth in 2029, and you’ll be able to see it without a telescope – BGR

Roughly a decade from now, a rather sizable space rock is going to have a very close encounter with Earth — on Friday the 13th, no less. On April 13th, 2029, the asteroid known as Apophis will pass by Earth at a distance of just 19,000 miles.

For a bit of context, the Moon is somewhere between 225,000 and 252,000 miles away at any given time. Yeah, this is going to be one seriously close shave, but as Space.com reports it’s going to be a day of celebration for scientists rather than fear, and the next decade will give researchers around the world an opportunity for something of a end-of-the-world “dry run” as they explore what measures they might one day have to take if a large space rock would ever threaten our survival.

(Still a kinda cool story)
