1. I found this article that stated a large asteroid was very close to hitting earth.

2. I did a Wikipedia search on the publishing company behind this article and did not find anything negative about it.

3. I did a google search on the topic and found that a lot of other articles were talking about the event

4. Finally, I scrolled to the bottom of the news article where they did site their sources, concluding that this event was true.

Thank you for reading my post and have a wonderful day!
