How The World Will End ...

According To Those In 1939

Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. The scientists of 1939 would like to add 'moon explosion' and 'giant meteor' to that list - and they created some terrifying paintings to show you just what humanity's demise will look like.

Popular Science published those apocalyptic illustrations, along with a very upsetting three-page article, in its September 1939 issue.
