Zemlja je premi\u010dna tar\u010da v strelnici. Skoraj vsak dan majhen ko\u0161\u010dek vesoljske skale preleti v razdalji nekaj milijonov kilometrov od planeta \u2013 pogosto neopa\u017eeno. V\u010dasih se pribli\u017eajo celo bolj kot Luna.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Znanstveniki menijo, da bi lahko obstajalo kar 100 000 asteroidov v bli\u017eini Zemlje, katerih premer presega 100 metrov \u2013 kar je velikost nogometnega igri\u0161\u010da. Odkritih je bilo ve\u010d kot 600 asteroidov, ki letijo blizu Zemlje in so ve\u010dji od 1 km. \u0160e ve\u010d sto jih je \u0161e treba odkriti.<\/p>\n

Vsake nekaj tiso\u010d let se dejansko zgodi, da asteroid tr\u010di v na\u0161 planet. Zadnji tak\u0161en dogodek se je zgodil v Sibiriji leta 1908, ko je majhen asteroid uni\u010dil ve\u010d kot 2000 kvadratnih kilometrov gozda. Eksplozija bi lahko uni\u010dila mesto velikosti Pariza ali Londona.<\/p>\n

Zelo redko pride do udarca, ki iztrebi \u017eivljenje na ve\u010djem delu planeta. Pred 65 milijoni let je asteroid s premerom 10 kilometrov povzro\u010dil eksplozijo, ki je bila mo\u010dnej\u0161a od vseh vodikovih bomb na Zemlji. V Mehiki je izkopal krater s premerom 180 kilometrov in po vsem svetu raz\u0161iril plast pepela. Obse\u017eni po\u017eari, ki jim je sledila tema in izjemna mrzlica, so povzro\u010dili izumrtje dinozavrov.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
