   Hello...   
      
      
   More philosophy about the Potentially Hazardous Asteroids..   
      
   About the Potentially Hazardous Asteroids: The largest, most devastating   
   impacts (like that which helped to kill the dinosaurs 65 million years   
   ago) are the rarest. But smaller, more frequent collisions also pose a   
   marked risk. This is why a New space telescope could spot potentially   
   hazardous asteroids heading for Earth, since in 2013, an asteroid   
   entered Earth's atmosphere over Chelyabinsk, Russia. It exploded in the   
   air, releasing 20 to 30 times more energy than that of the first atomic   
   bombs, generating brightness greater than the sun, exuding heat,   
   damaging more than 7,000 buildings and injuring more than 1,000 people.   
   The shock wave broke windows 58 miles away. It went undetected because   
   the asteroid came from the same direction and path as the sun.   
   These meteorites landed on Earth after a 22-million-year voyage   
   These meteorites landed on Earth after a 22-million-year voyage   
   The NEO Surveyor will use infrared sensors that can help astronomers   
   find these objects -- even ones that may approach Earth during the day   
   from the direction of the sun. This isn't something that's possible   
   using ground-based observatories.
