NASA wants people to help it identify potentially hazardous asteroids.

Asteroids caused 26 nuclear-scale explosions in the Earth’s atmosphere between 2000 and 2013, a new report reveals.

Some were more powerful – in one case, dozens of times stronger – than the atom bomb blast that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945 with an energy yield equivalent to 16 kilotons of TNT.

Most occurred too high in the atmosphere to cause any serious damage on the ground. But the evidence was a sobering reminder of how vulnerable the Earth was to the threat from space, scientists said.

I think this is what the Bible is talking about when it says nobody knows when it will happen and befoe we even do it will be lights out.   If everyone kept in mind this danger during their daily meanderings, maybe life on Earth wouldn’t be so bad.  Or maybe it would be total chaos.
