“Don’t worry, the world will not end today due to an asteroid impact. Word from the director of our Center for Near Earth Object Studies at NASA JPL (NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory)!”
“There is no known threat from any asteroid for at least the next 100 years. Our Planetary Defense Coordination Office constantly monitors potential threats from asteroids and other near-Earth objects.”
Likewise, the curious can follow the trajectory of asteroid 2009 FJ1, and see with their own eyes that it is not a danger to Earth in this link provided by the space authority itself.
This asteroid was listed as “the eighth most dangerous” in the Risk List of Near Earth Objects of the European Space Agency (ESA).
Likewise, NASA has pointed out that it is currently working on the creation of planetary defense technologies, in case an asteroid is discovered in the future that poses a risk of collision for Earth. This is the DART mission, which consists of a double asteroid redirection test. “We want to be prepared,” they say.
