The world that we live in is constantly at risk from natural disasters that could wipe out entire species, including our own. One such disaster is known to us all – the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Today, we face the possibility of a similar fate, but we are not helpless against it. In this article, we will explore the impending catastrophe of a comet hitting earth today, and how we might be able to survive.
Our civilization has advanced greatly in recent times, with technology and science leading the way. However, we are still at the mercy of nature’s wrath, and the impact of a comet could be catastrophic. The documentary, “Comet Collision Course: Facing Earth’s Doom”, explores the science behind such an event, and its consequences for mankind and the natural world.
Through the eyes of a young astronomer, the documentary shows us the horrors that await us in the event of a comet collision with Earth. The astronomer discovers a comet on a collision course with Earth, but his warning falls on deaf ears. As a result, the comet strikes the Earth, causing a devastating impact that results in an eclipse of the sun, leading to a global winter, and the extinction of many life-forms.
The documentary not only portrays the disastrous event, but it also focuses on the scientific background behind such an occurrence. Astro-physicist Noah Boyle and computer scientist Shiang Yatan remain at an observation center in Hawaii to try to find out the exact time when the comet will hit. Meanwhile, Fernando Martinez, a Mexican who works in Houston, Texas, sets off home to be with his family in safety. The Vaton family in France seeks shelter, and the Baka pygmy tribesmen continue to hunt, unaware of the impending disaster.
