A massive "horned" comet, 3 times bigger than Mount Everest, has exploded and is now hurtling towards Earth. The comet, named 12P/Pons-Brooks, measures 18.6 miles in diameter and has erupted twice in the last four months. The explosion caused the comet's coma to sprout "horns" and its shape has been compared to the Millennium Falcon spaceship from "Star Wars." Despite its ominous trajectory, the comet won't reach its closest point to Earth until 2024 and will become visible to the naked eye. This is the second explosion for 12P since July, and it is one of 20 known comets with active ice volcanoes.

An apocalyptic video explores the hypothetical scenario of a needle hitting Earth at the speed of light. In the worst case, the impact would create a massive hole in the Earth's crust, causing the mantle to be ejected into space and resulting in the extinction of life due to the immense heat. Alternatively, the energy released could be so great that the Earth disintegrates. However, there is a possibility that the needle would simply pass through the Earth without significant impact, happening so quickly that it goes unnoticed, except for those unlucky enough to be in its path. This theoretical scenario highlights the immense energy possessed by an object traveling at the speed of light, even if it is small like a needle.
