Part 2/10:
The plot kicks off in Michigan, where Kate Dibiasky, a young Astronomy PhD student, makes a world-shattering discovery using the Subaru Telescope: a comet is on a collision course with Earth, set to strike in six months and cause mass extinction. Alongside her supportive professor, Dr. Randall Mindy, Kate calculates the trajectory and realizes the dire implications of their findings. Their initial excitement soon turns to despair as they struggle to alert the government and the public about the existential threat they’ve uncovered.
