In April, scientists discovered an asteroid that had an about one in 2,500 chance of colliding with Earth in six months.
Fortunately, that is all it was: an exercise. But next time might not be. Scientists estimate that there is an about one in 100 chance of an asteroid larger than 140m across hitting the Earth every century. Depending on where such a rock landed, it could cause casualties exceeding any known natural disaster.
Occasionally, there are closer calls. In 2013, a 20m asteroid exploded 32km above Chelyabinsk, Russia, releasing about 500 kilotons of energy, knocking people off their feet and blowing out windows in thousands of buildings. Had the explosion occurred closer to the ground, the damage could have been catastrophic. A space rock that exploded 9km over Siberia in 1908 flattened 2,071km² of forest. A blast of that scale over New York City would cause millions of casualties.
