Показать описание
An asteroid the size of a delivery truck whipped past Earth on Thursday night and it was only discovered a few days earlier.

The Asteroid 2023 BU was close enough that it could have taken out unlucky satellites.

But if it did come into contact with Earth, scientists said most of it would have burned up in the atmosphere.

Here's how likely we are to be hit by an asteroid:

Size: 82 feet (25m)
Frequency: Once in 100 years
Damage: Explosion in the sky - may cause injuries

459 feet (140m)
Frequency: Once in 25,000 years
Damage: 1.2 mile crater (2km) - possible mass casualties

3,280 feet (1,000m)
Frequency: Once in 500,000 years
Damage: 6.2 mile crater (10km) - global devastation

6.2 miles (9.98km)
Frequency: Once in 100 million years
Damage: 62 mile crater (100km) - mass extinction
