A city-killer’ asteroid now has a 2.3% chance of slamming into Earth in about eight years, and this terrifying video has revealed what could happen if it does.

The energy released could be equivalent to eight megatons of TNT, which would be over 500 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

The shocking video was created by Alvaro Gracia Montoya, who specializes in 3D animation under the name MetaBallStudios.

This theoretical asteroid is roughly the same size as Asteroid YR4, which astronomers have been closely monitoring since they discovered it may directly hit Earth on December 22, 2032.
