The Tunguska event was the largest impact of an asteroid witnessed. The event took place in 1908 when unexpectedly an asteroid struck Podkamennaya Tunguska River in a forest in Sibria, Russia. It is documented that the asteroid was so powerful that people forty miles away from the collision were thrown to the ground. This is a prime example of the dangers of asteroids hitting earth, and how many people whether far or close could be affected by the powerful strike.

Scientists believe not enough research is done on asteroids, nor the possibilities of one hitting Earth again. So what are they doing to solve this problem? They are solving this situation …show more content…
This is definitely an intelligent idea. One reason being, is that many experts say there is not enough research done on asteroids. With the 100X Declaration project scientists could understand more about our galaxy, and possibly even develop ways to protect Earth from being struck by another asteroid. Asteroid Day has “(…) solid support from space agencies. NASA and everyone is on board.” Grigorij Richters told CNN. Having such a well known world wide space agencies such as NASA as a supporter is a fantastic way to let people know that the Asteroid Day organization has reliable and trust worthy information. Presently, there is so much false information on the Internet it is hard to come by information that’s been verified and approved by experts. Above all, Asteroid Day is a great source provider for all those interested in the …show more content…
Over 562,000 infrared measurements have been made of 24,024 different solar system objects, including 613 NEOs and 110 comets”. According to the data collected the NEOWISE has found more than triple the amount of near earth objects it found last in 2013. The more data collected, the more we release how close we cut it everyday, and how we can do nothing to stop it. (Asteroids Hitting Earth is a Serious Threat, Scientists Said). Asteroids are serious threats to all beings on Earth. We will never be fully protected from what lurks outside our horizon. As of the typing of this essay, there are no big threats of asteroids hitting Earth anytime soon (Imam and Asteroids Hitting Earth is a Serious Threat, Scientists Said). This is good news all around for everyone. Knowing we are in no immediate danger is something that will put almost everyone’s mind to ease. Although there is still more than a million asteroids that have the potential to hit Earth at any given moment (Imam, Asteroids Hitting Earth is a Serious Threat, Scientists Said, and
