Atlanta, GA – Look– Up in the sky! It's an asteroid; it's a black hole; it's a Gamma Ray Burst! How the world could come to an end is explained in a new book by astronomer Philip Plait, called “Death from the Skies.” When he spoke with WABE's Steve Goss, he asked Plait why the average person would want to know about such horrific scenarios.
