WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 (UPI) -- NASA struck down apocalyptic theories that a giant asteroid will hit Earth in September, saying there is "not one shred of evidence" the rumors are true.

In response to online rumors about a massive asteroid strike between Sept. 15 and 28, the U.S. space agency sought to clarify "numerous recent blogs and web postings" as false. "All known Potentially Hazardous Asteroids have less than a 0.01 percent chance of impacting Earth in the next 100 years," NASA said.

"There is no scientific basis -- not one shred of evidence -- that an asteroid or any other celestial object will impact Earth on those dates," said Paul Chodas, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

For years, YouTubers have been predicting the doomsday asteroid to hit near Puerto Rico, triggering a massive earthquake that will devastate the United States, Mexico, and Central and South America.

This isn't the first time NASA had made moves to quell Internet hysteria. In 2011, there were rumors the comet Elenin would destroy Earth. Instead, it broke up into small pieces in space. In 2012, Internet rumors predicted an asteroid strike would end the world on Dec. 12, 2012, in conjunction with the end of the Mayan calendar. Others, too, have missed Earth "just as NASA said they would," the space agency said.

"Again, there is no existing evidence that an asteroid or any other celestial object is on a trajectory that will impact Earth," said Chodas. "In fact, not a single one of the known objects has any credible chance of hitting our planet over the next century." Like Us on Facebook for more stories from UPI.com

NASA: Huge asteroid will not destroy Earth in September

That's good to know. I just replaced the spindle bearings in my lawn mower, and I'm looking forward to mowing my yard at least once more before the end of the world.

Perhaps a far greater danger is the eruption of Yellowstone's super volcano that erupts in a super volcano every 1/3 billion years and it has been that long since the last super volcano eruption.

If and when that happens, say goodbye to the western half of the USA and Canada. And that is only the beginning because so many cubic miles of volcano ass would be blown so high in the atmospheres it would remain their for years and might reduce global temperature by 20 degrees. Regardless, with so little sunlight, most plants would die and therefore most (all but 100, million) humans, birds, mammals, etc. However, 100 years later, the earth would be full of life and the number of humans would have doubled or quadrupled especially if women, starting at age 14 or 15 (which is likely) were having 3, 4, or more children.
