It’s not looking good for any team in Chicago. In fact, for the Cubs specifically, they are nearing a nightmare scenario.
While the White Sox, Bears, and even Fire remain abysmal, the Cubs were the sole bright spot in Chicago sports this summer. Now, however, as the season winds down, the Cubs are in danger of not making the playoffs. The squad has dropped the first two games of a three game series against the best team in baseball, the Atlanta Braves, both of which have happened in humiliating fashion, and at press time, they are currently out of the playoff picture via being on the wrong end of a tiebreaker with the Miami Marlins.

According to scientists, Bennu, a Near-Earth Object, has a chance to pass through what they call a “gravity keyhole,” which would send it on a death-spiral towards Earth in the year 2182. A team predicts Bennu has a 1 in 2,700 of hitting Earth. In 2135, Bennu will zoom past Earth just close enough that our planet’s gravitational pull could affect it in just the right way to put it on a path to hit us on Sept. 24, 2182, which is only 159 years away.
