(KGTV) — A post circulating on social media claims NASA is warning there's a 72% chance an asteroid the size of an airplane will hit Earth on July 12, 2038.
The post has appeared numerous times on X and Facebook.
But the whole thing is fiction.
As reported on Snopes, NASA released a news release in late June saying there are no known significant asteroid threats to Earth in the foreseeable future.
The warning about an asteroid strike in 2038 was part of a hypothetical exercise by NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office.
