An asteroid larger than any skyscraper yet built is hurtling toward Earth, the Daily Mail informs. If it hits on Feb. 4, the paper continues, scientists predict a decade of cold and darkness, and skies choked with soot, and misery across the planet. Between these paragraphs, the Mail inserts occasional reminders that asteroid 2002 AJ129 will not hit Earth, according to NASA. In fact it is predicted to get no closer than 2.6 million miles from Earth, despite NASAs scary-sounding classification of the rock as potentially hazardous-a term which the Mail has paired with horrific illustrations of an asteroid careening straight into the planet. The Sun is on the story too:FAST AND DANGEROUS. Meanwhile, the Daily Star has mocked up a depiction of the asteroid bearing down on Hyde Park. If you loaded up Google on Sunday morning and clicked News,you would be greeted by a picture of AJ129 boiling away an ocean, beside the headline,Doomsday. No wonder that on Friday, a concerned citizen sent NASA a link to a report that the asteroid was on a collision course to kill us all, and asked why the agency was not talking about it.
