A Year of Assessing Astronomical Hazards
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Asteroids and comets can pose a hazard to Earth. Mountain-sized objects could cause global effects if they were to impact our planet. Projects like Spacewatch and Spaceguard continuously scan the skies for objects that might approach Earth. While large impacts are rare, they have happened in the past.
