Four Extremely Dangerous Asteroids Our solar system is a marvelous place and offers many opportunities for exploration and study. Unfortunately it also includes objects that are justifiably of great concern to mankind because of the potential danger they seem to pose for its existence. Such objects are Comets and asteroids whose orbits come very disturbingly close to our Earth. Evidence that such objects have indeed struck the earth in the far and near past make the concern even more justifiable. For example the Tunguska impact in Siberia and the impact which seems to have wiped out the dinosaurs are just two which seem to indicate that earth ca be struck once more at any time. Then we have the disturbing spectacle of asteroids striking Jupiter and leaving earth-sized scars on its cloud surface indicating the havoc they managed to inflict farther down. We also have the severely scarred surfaces of Mercury and our moon ans we as Mars as compelling testimony that we live in what might very well be imagined as a shooting gallery. This following video describes four of such objects.
