NASA predicts that an asteroid measuring over 55 yards (50.3m), wide will hit the Earth roughly once every 100 years.
Approximately 50,000 tons (45,359 metric tons), of rock, metal, and other elements travel into the Earth's atmosphere each year, but most of the time they disintregrate before they can impact our planet. Neverthless, NASA projects that a large asteroid impacts the Earth every 100 years. Hey!
It's about time!
there were 556 recorded instances of asteroids entering the Earth's atmosphere from 1994 to 2013. The last time an asteroid wider than 55 yards came to Earth was in Siberia in 1908: the impact destroyed 770 Square Miles (2,000) sq km of forested land.
Watch out, Duck!
