I was late to the party on this and NaNoWriMo is almost over. What's that? It's National Novel Writing Month. The goal is to write a 50,000 word novel by midnight, Nov. 30. No kidding. Why? Because it's fun! This is all about quantity, not quality. (The site emphasizes this.) Last year 165,000 people did it! You can too. Of course, if you haven't started by now....
You have 8 days
That's only 6,250 words a day
You can do it!

Science Fiction or Non-Fiction?
I just found a fun website via Resource Shelf. Purdue University runsImpact:Earth! It even has it's own Intro Video that looks just like a movie trailer!
If you've always wanted to calculate the impact of an asteroid (with specific density, etc). on the Earth (and who hasn't?), then this is the resource for you.
Or, perhaps this website isn't your thing but you like to watch movies about asteroids colliding with Earth. Here's a list. (Please note that I do not endorse the viewing of any particular film listed here, especially Armageddon. It's a stinker, IMHO.)
Armageddon
Deep Impact
Meteorites
Doomsday Rock
Fire in the Sky
