Two asteroids will dart past Earth in the coming days, while NASA has warned of a severe close shave with a space rock with large planes. A pastor preacher has also issued a full warning about the upcoming meeting.
Greatly improved detection techniques have allowed astronomers to witness an ever-increasing number of asteroid flybys in recent years. The latest installation will see two spacecraft past Earth this week. Both of the rocks were only detected in recent days, a reminder of the threat posed by asteroids undiscovered potential to our planet.

Fortunately, both rocks will pass at a safe distance of more than 1.5 million kilometers (932,056 miles). On September 1, however, we are approaching for a far closer encounter, when a 28-meter space rock, officially known as 2011 ES4, will swing past Earth at only one-third of the distance between our planet and the moon .
The visitor will whistle at a speed of almost 30,000 kilometers (18,600 miles) per hour. NASA has labeled it a “Potentially Dangerous Asteroid” because of the potential risks it poses to our Earth.
While 2011 ES4 will almost certainly fly past our planet at a safe distance, Pastor Paul Begley has issued stern warnings about the end of the world.
“It’s confirmed, incoming firebeams, apocalyptic, in the direction along,” the self-proclaimed End Times prophesy prophecy in a recent video on his popular YouTube account.
Begley mentions biblical passages mixed with scientific evidence of cherry-picking as “Proof” that the planet is in mortal danger of incoming “Apocalyptic fireballs”.

“I’ve been talking about this for a decade because, according to the Bible, we knew it was coming – even without scientific evidence.” he explained. “Even Stephen Hawking says that the earth will be consumed in the fire in 2600. I think it will be closer sooner, because the Bible says it in second Peter, chapter three.”
Begley claimed that “More than 100 tons of space dust and rock” will rain every day in our atmosphere in a sign of the coming apocalypse. Not surprisingly, there is no scientific basis for these claims.
