A giant asteroid is headed our way. But no, it won't hit the Earth. This asteroid is about to slam into the Moon and crack it right in half. What would it be like to witness this epic collision? Would the Moon break clean in two? Or would it shatter into a million pieces? And how could one of these pieces wipe out life here on Earth?
