Space experts warn Earth will be struck by asteroid in the future with 100% Certainty
A major group fighting to save the world from catastrophic events has
made a stark warning about the rogue space rocks. The B612 Foundation
is made up of former astronauts and scientists who focus on defending
Earth from the apocalypse. In 2005, Nasa said 90% of discovered
asteroids which are at least 140m in diameter pose no immediate threat.
But millions of asteroids in the 15m to 140m range are “near-Earth” And it is estimated only around 18,000 are tracked globally and the
majority are not even monitored, reports News.com.au. Lasers and
nuclear weapons could hypothetically be used to destroy an incoming
asteroid, however the experts believe we wouldn’t even know about the

that operational telescopes can only pick up a small number of
asteroids. “The telescopes’ field of view is very small and the sky is
