If you’re an informed citizen who’s seen Armageddon, you’ll like Asteroid Watch. The Twitter feed from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab has one function, to inform followers of the location of asteroids in relation to Earth. The account’s curators will even answer follower’s questions, all in the name of cosmic wrecking ball awareness. After all, Bruce Willis is only one man.
