Nostradamus’ prophecy has led some to believe he predicted the ‘city-killing’ asteroid that could potentially strike Earth in 2032.
A new asteroid, known as 2024 YR4, is gaining attention because it might collide with Earth in 2032.
This asteroid has been labeled as a “city killer” due to its potential to cause significant damage if it hits.
Recent discussions have even connected this asteroid to the famous seer Nostradamus, who lived over 500 years ago.
Who is Nostradamus?
Nostradamus was a French astrologer and physician known for his predictions about the future.
His writings, filled with cryptic verses, have fascinated people for centuries.
Some followers believe he predicted various events, including natural disasters and wars.
Recently, some have claimed that Nostradamus foresaw an asteroid impacting Earth.
Nostradamus may have predicted possibility of YR4 asteroid hitting Earth in 2032
According to those who study Nostradamus, he wrote about a great disaster involving a mountain and floods.
He wrote: “The great mountain encompasses seven stadia. After peace, war, famine, flooding. Shall spread far, sinking many countries.
Even the ancient landscapes to their foundations.”
He went on to say: “At the place where Jason has his ship built, So great a flood shall come so suddenly,’ he wrote.
“One shall not have place or land to attach. The wave shall mount to Olympic Fesulan.”
Nostradamus mentioned a place linked to Jason, a character from Greek mythology.
He described a great wave that would rise, which people believe could refer to a tsunami caused by an asteroid impact.
Although these interpretations are speculative, they have captured the attention of many.
NASA issues warnings about the asteroid 2024 YR4
NASA has been monitoring the asteroid 2024 YR4 using the James Webb Space Telescope.
This asteroid is estimated to be large enough to cause serious damage if it collides with Earth.
Scientists currently predict that it could hit our planet in 2032.
Fortunately, the likelihood of this happening is relatively low, estimated at only 2.3%.
If the asteroid were to collide with Earth, it is likely to land in the ocean.
While experts believe that the waves generated would not reach land if they struck further out, there is still a risk of a tsunami if it hits closer to the shore.
Major cities at risk include Mumbai, Lagos, and Bogotá, which could face serious consequences if the asteroid impacts nearby.
NASA is taking the potential threat seriously and is conducting research to gather more information about the asteroid.
Scientists are actively studying its trajectory to determine if any defensive measures might be needed.
They are exploring various options, including the possibility of changing its course if it becomes a more significant threat.
While the asteroid poses a potential risk, experts emphasize that there is no immediate cause for alarm.
They continue to monitor the situation and will keep the public informed about any changes in the asteroid’s status.
Social media reactions
The connection between Nostradamus and the asteroid has sparked mixed reactions.
Many people are skeptical about Nostradamus’s predictions.
On social media, some users have dismissed his claims, pointing out that he made many predictions, and only a few have seemingly come true.
One user joked about his accuracy, suggesting he was “1 for 10,000” in terms of correct predictions.
Despite this skepticism, some people are still fascinated by the idea that Nostradamus might have foreseen such an event.
One user said: The Simpsons also “predicted” a lot of things
The secone user added: Ok. He predicted the 2% chance of impact?? Awesome… We need Bruce Willis and the drill crew to drill, baby drill…My bad, he died in that. We need Ben Affleck then…
The third user commented: Notably terrifying accurate. I won’t be shocked if it did!
The fourth user added: any chance it might be early?
