Is the Earth Targeted for an <strong>Impact</strong>?<br />

Not that we know of! None of the asteroids or comets discovered so far is on a<br />

collision course with Earth. However, we can't speak for those that are not yet<br />

discovered. In principle, one of those could hit any time, but statistically the chances<br />

are very small. Click here for background information on the impact hazard and<br />

what we are doing about it<br />
