Scientists estimate the main belt alone contains more than 1 million asteroids. The total number in the solar system could be much higher if space rocks beyond Neptune’s orbit are considered.
Scientists say collisions of space rocks with the Earth must have happened many times over its 4.5 billion year history, especially early on. If a large asteroid were found to be heading toward Earth today, scientists and engineers could possibly devise a plan to track and deflect it, expert say.
Some interesting facts about asteroids:
The asteroid belt is about 550 million kilometers in “width” (on the ecliptic of our solar system). This is a huge chunk of the solar system, a distance that should include a planetary object or two, in fact, it did, but a very long time ago. What happened? Planet X or Nibiru has been transiting our solar system for many millions of years and as it happens, Planet X is accompanied by a complex of small and large moons and an immense debris field, referred to a tail. During one pass, it collapsed several planets in this 550 million kilometer zone into planetary debris. Now this happened over many Millennia as Planet X passed by (into our solar system) in it’s cyclical 3,600 + orbit cycle. As it entered this area of our solar system, the moons of Planet X collided with the planets in this area and the “asteroid belt” is the result.
