The data, collected from a nuclear missile detection system that picks up large blasts on earth, shows that since 2001, asteroids have caused 26 explosions on the scale of an atomic bomb. “This data shows that asteroid impacts are NOT rare, but actually 3-10 times more common than we previously thought,” Ed Lu, one of the astronauts working on the project, said in a statement. The fact that none of these asteroid impacts shown in the video was detected in advance is proof that the only thing preventing a catastrophe from a city-killer sized asteroid is blind luck.huffingtonpost/2014/04/19/asteroids-cities_n_5178708.html?utm_hp_ref=science&icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl7%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D466717
