Last weekend, Earth was hit by an asteroid that produced an energy equivalent to 5,000 tons of TNT. Before exploding, astronomers were able to spot the asteroid using telescopes.
Scientists have warned that the comet responsible for the annual Perseid meteor shower is getting dangerously closer to Earth each time it passes. The comet could eventually collide with Earth, causing a major extinction-level event.
Earth is about to get several close encounters with massive asteroids this week. The biggest near-Earth object that will zoom past the planet is bigger than the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Earth is about to get several close calls with massive asteroids this month. The biggest asteroid from the group that will zip past Earth is larger than the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
A new study released by a team of researchers from the John Hopkins University revealed that Earth’s current proposed defense mechanisms against a massive asteroid are useless in preventing a catastrophic impact event.
An asteroid that zipped past Earth in 2016 has returned and will fly much closer to the planet today. Scientific experts warned that returning asteroids could endanger Earth due to gravitational factors that can alter their courses.
