Asteroids are minor planets, especially those of the inner Solar System. The larger ones have also been called planetoids. These terms have historically been applied to any astronomical object orbiting the Sun that did not show the disc of a planet and was not observed to have the characteristics of an active comet. As minor planets in the outer Solar System were discovered and found to have volatile-based surfaces that resemble those of comets, they were often distinguished from asteroids of the asteroid belt. In this article, the term "asteroid" refers to the minor planets of the inner Solar System including those in co-orbit with Jupiter.
There are millions of asteroids, many thought to be the shattered remnants of planetesimals, bodies within the young Sun's solar nebula that never grew large enough to become planets. The large majority of known asteroids orbit in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, or are co-orbital with Jupiter (the Jupiter trojans). However, other orbital families exist with significant populations, including the near-Earth asteroids. Individual asteroids are classified by their characteristic spectra, with the majority falling into three main groups: C-type, M-type, and S-type. These were named after and are generally identified with carbon-rich, metallic, and silicate (stony) compositions, respectively.
● Discovery Channel - Large Asteroid Impact Simulation (2008). Earth was born as a result of repeated asteroid collisions, the moon was created by a single giant impact event. Then, Earth's size attracted huge meteorites, which slammed into it, causing super-high-temperature rock vapour to cover the entire surface and evaporate all ocean water. The earliest life-forms survived such infernal events by escaping deep into the ground, miraculously emerging again and again. The Earth has gone through innumerable catastrophic events, and life has survived by acquiring new abilities to live through each crisis. Humans are part of the grand history of life's evolution, which has been closely intertwined with repeated cataclysmic events. Learn what would happen if an asteroid hit the Earth with t...

Welcome to Top10Archive! Everyday that mankind gets to enjoy life to its fullest is a day where mankind is paying no mind to the dangers that threaten them from space. Minor planets and planetoids threaten the very existence of Earth on a frequent basis - so frequent, in fact, that it is scary. Over the past several decades alone, the people of Earth have been threatened by a slew of asteroids - and these ten are amongst the most life-threatening, should they have changed trajectory and slammed into the blue planet. To put these distances into perspective, our moon is roughly 239,000 miles or 384,000 kilometers from earth.

Now that we’ve finished our tour of the planets, we’re headed back to the asteroid belt. Asteroids are chunks of rock, metal, or both that were once part of smallish planets but were destroyed after collisions. Most orbit the Sun between Mars and Jupiter, but some get near the Earth. The biggest, Ceres is far smaller than the Moon but still big enough to be round and have undergone differentiation. CORRECTION: In the episode we say that 2010 TK7 is 800 km away. However, 2010 TK7 stays on average 150 million kilometers from Earth, but that can vary wildly.

Killer Asteroids - Space Documentary NASA's WISE mission has tracked down 93 percent of the 1 kilometer diameter or larger asteroids whose size could devastate our planet. The project's asteroid census has revised the total number of NEO's down from 36,000 to 20,500.

Feb 15,2013 - A "small" meteorite streaked through the skies above Russia's Urals region. The blast, equivalent to 300,000 tons of TNT, shattered windows, damaged more than 3,000 building and injured over 1,000 people. 8 months after the incident, the meteorite, weighing in at 570 kg, was pulled out of Lake Chebarkul, making it one of the biggest meteorites ever recovered.
A million miles away
We can run, we can be lost in space
Counting down from ten
With a spark we can start our life again
Who says we can't fly, fly away
Who says we can't run, run away...
With the asteroids!
Writing off our friends
All alone we are lost again
Writing off our pain, cause we run, run away...
With the asteroids!
Please don't you ever crash, or or fly or stay in space
Please don't you ever crash, or or try and save the day
Away and away and you watch me
Touch down, I won't stay
Away and away and you want me...to stay
Counting down the days
We can run, we can be lost in space
Falling off the end
With a spark we can start our life again
Who says we can't fly, fly away
Who says we can't run, run away...
With the asteroids!
Please don't you ever crash, or or fly or stay in space
Please don't you ever crash, or or try and save the day
Away and away and you watch me
Touch down, I won't stay
Away and away and you want me...but I cannot stay!!
Release my wings, please cut these strings
So I can fly, and fly, and fly...away
She says she wants me to stay
She says she wants me to stay
She says she wants me to stay
