#1. The astronomers have launched a research for the purpose of observing and following asteroids.

#2. One object has been very near the Earth in this century.

#3. Astronomers have managed to observe and examine only about two thirds of the vault of heaven.

#4. Early animals were possibly wiped out by objects hitting the Earth.

#5. Scientists have not identified all the objects that may hit the Earth.

HOW TO AVOID ASTEROIDS COLLIDING WITH THE EARTH

1. The Earth has been struck many times in the past by large objects. A meteorite, estimated to be about 12 kilometres in diameter, collided with the earth in the region of the Yukatan Peninsula (now Mexico) 65 million years ago.

2. Many scientists and historians believe that the extinction of the dinosaurs and other animals was a result of this collision.

3. More recently, an asteroid the size of three football fields (300 metres wide) passed close to the Earth, just twice the distance to the Moon. The rock, 2001 YB5, was first seen in December 2000, leaving little time to change its direction if it had become a real danger.

4. Scientists agree that we should take actions to prevent the collision of an asteroid or comet with the Earth, as the impact of an asteroid larger than one kilometre in diameter hitting the Earth could cause global devastation.

5. It is worrying, too, that only about half of the large Near Earth Objects (NEOs) have been found. It is estimated that about 500 NEOs have not yet been discovered.

6. A further cause for concern is that 30 percent of the sky hasn’t been surveyed.

7. A research project has just been set up by the EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) to track asteroids on a collision course with the Earth.

8. Computer simulations will be used to work out the feasibility of changing the direction of asteroids, using methods proposed by engineers.

9. One such method involves giant mirrors floating in space which could melt the surface of an asteroid and change its course.

10. Another method is to use brute force, such as smashing a rocket into the asteroid to deflect it. The rocket would not physically push the asteroid away but would use the collision to make a hole in the rock, which would push the asteroid in a different direction.
