'Ducks for cover!'

Thats kinda scary, and also, how are they so sure they are not picking up an asteroid that hasn't already been identified!

I wonder what they are size wise! I know it doesn't take a big asteroid to kill us all off, but I hope these include tiny ones that would burn up in the atmosphere!

Known fact: If it wasn't for Jupiter, we would not be here, the gravitational pull acts like a shield preventing asteroid colliding with Earth!
