Is it possible that our planet might someday be struck by an asteroid or comet? Well believe it or not, on June 15th, 2002, an Apollo- sized asteroid passed between the Earth and the Moon. If this asteroid had struck our planet, it would have caused an explosion 100 times larger than the one that wiped out Hiroshima, Japan. And if that isn't enough to scare the living daylights out of you, then you should also know that this asteroid wasn't spotted by astronomers here on Earth until it had already passed our planet and was going away! That's right, no one ever saw it coming!
Approximately 60 million years ago, a giant asteroid nearly 8 miles across struck our planet without warning and caused the total extinction of Earth's dinosaurs. This asteroid collision ushered in a sudden period of Global Cooling that resulted in over 3 years of continuous winter. Earth's large, cold-blooded dinosaurs were replaced by many smaller warm-blooded creatures, as the ecology underwent a complete global regenesis. It is a known fact that Earth has been struck by asteroids this size many times during its long history. In fact, the Earth is struck every day by thousands of tiny asteriods. They are the familiar shooting stars you see each night in the evening sky.
In 1932, 1936, and 1937, three truly huge asteroids named Apollo, Adonis, and Hermes, all passed within a mere 500,000 miles of our planet. If any of these giant space rocks had struck us, it could have marked the end of human civilization as we know it. Astronomers in the 1930's however, actually spotted these asteroids well before they got near our planet. Sort of makes you wonder about the effectiveness of today's so-called "modern" technology, doesn't it?
