The mere concept can give you a fright:
Should that asteroid, Eos, alight
On Earth's landmass, the force,
Raising dust, fine and coarse,
Might bring eons of Dawn's endless night.
Dr G.H. and Giorgio Coniglio, 2022 OEDILF #115472
Author's Note: The asteroid known by astronomers as 221 Eos is apparently a large orbiting body with a diameter of over 100 km. It has a potential, should it strike the Earth, to bring about an extinction similar to that produced 60 million years ago that wiped out the dinosaur population.
