Cosmic Objects That Could Hit Earth: Real Threats and What Scientists Are Saying

Cosmic Objects That Could Hit Earth: Real Threats and What Scientists Are Saying

Earth has been in the cosmic crosshairs before – from the dinosaur-killing 6-mile asteroid 66 million years ago to the 1908 Tunguska impact in Siberia. Today, astronomers vigilantly track near-Earth objects to make sure we know of any asteroid or comet with even a slim chance of hitting Earth. In fact, NASA’s automated Sentry system continuously scans for potential future impacts within the next 100 years scorptech.github.io, and as of mid-2025 about 1,800 asteroids are catalogued on European Space Agency’s “Risk List” with some non-zero probability of impact. The good news: none of these known objects pose an imminent threat, and impact chances are almost vanishingly small in every case. As NASA emphasizes, “there are currently no known asteroids of significant size on a collision trajectory with Earth”. But a handful of larger space rocks do merit extra attention due to their non-zero impact probabilities. Below we’ll meet all the notable cosmic objects that could collide with Earth in the future, how likely those impacts are, and what their consequences might be.
