Too Close for Comfort - There have been some recent
asteroids that have made it through our atmosphere. The most
recent one occurred in Chelyabinsk, Russia on February 15th,
2003. A meteor with an estimated mass of
about 10 tons broke apart in the sky
and produced a blinding light. The
shock wave shattered windows
and 985 people sought
medical treatment. One

meteor remained

crater. On June 30,
1908 in Tunguska,
Russia, an even larger meteor blasted apart about a forest in
Siberia. The ensuing shock wave knocked down 770 square
miles of trees. More recently and closer to home, on October
9, 1992, a meteor shot across the sky from Kentucky to New
York. A 27-pound piece of meteorite from the fireball landed
in Peekskill, New York. The meteorite punched a hole through
the trunk of a car and created a shallow depression beneath it.
NASA’s Near Earth Object Program is currently tracking over
12,000 asteroids and comets.
There are currently 568 asteroids that have some potential
for hitting the Earth in the next 100 years and causing some
amount of damage. The two most likely objects are 23 feet in
diameter and have a 0.5% chance of striking the Earth. Don’t
worry though; the first potential impacts are in the years 2073
and 2095, so you’re safe for now.
