  So far we haven’t found any big comets or asteroids that are definitely on a collision course. There are a few that will come close to us in the next 100 years. We observe those ones whenever possible, to make sure there’s no danger. But we haven’t found them all yet, so we keep looking.
  
  Every year a few small asteroids hit us, but they are only a couple of metres across. So they burn up in the atmosphere and explode 20-40 miles above the ground.
