Today, astronomers are monitoring over 2,200 potentially hazardous asteroids larger than 0.6 miles (1 kilometer) across, in Earth’s orbital neighborhood. Fortunately, it’s rare that any will pass close enough to pose a real threat.

Asteroid alert! Aircraft-sized asteroid charging towards at Earth at a fiery 53171 kmph | Tech News
To study asteroids that are not in the asteroid belt, NASA has the Lucy Space Mission. NASA launched its Lucy spacecraft on Oct. 16, 2021 from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Dinosaurs were in their prime, not in decline, when fateful asteroid hit
A recent study led by the University of Edinburgh provides new evidence that dinosaurs were going strong at the time of their sudden demise.
"This is a very interesting study that uses an approach not often used in vertebrate paleontology ," said paleontologist Luis Chiappe, director of the Dinosaur Institute at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, who was not involved with the research. "The results are solid."
HAARP To Bounce Signal Off Asteroid 2010 XC15 In NASA Experiment - SpaceRef
An experiment to bounce a radio signal off an asteroid on Dec. 27 will serve as a test for probing a larger asteroid that in 2029 will pass closer to Earth than the many geostationary satellites that orbit our planet.
The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program research site in Gakona will transmit radio signals to asteroid 2010 XC15, which could be about 500 feet across.

Willow Showrunner Reveals How Wes Anderson's Asteroid City Affected the Show's Production
"WILLOW TIDBIT: for his upcoming ASTEROID CITY, Wes Anderson badly wanted a clean-shaven @TonyRevolori, which was a continuity problem for us. But a little rewrite & a big assist from Charlie Rawes, lead to one of my fave bits in ep.
