Scientist Warns of Asteroid Danger

A leading astrophysicist from Queen’s University Belfast has warned that an asteroid strike is just a matter of time.

“Astronomers find Near-Earth Asteroids every day and most are harmless. But it is still possible the next Tunguska would take us by surprise, and although we are much better at finding larger asteroids, that does us no good if we are not prepared to do something about them.”
