asteroid

Extinction-level asteroid impacts are rare but have occurred throughout Earth's history.

Smaller impacts are frequent, with Earth accumulating about 100 tons of matter daily.

The odds of a large asteroid strike vary, but prediction is nearly impossible.

Even a relatively small asteroid can trigger global catastrophe through atmospheric disruption.

An asteroid impact can eject dust and debris, leading to a 'nuclear winter' effect.

Global temperatures would drop, skies would darken, and food supplies would collapse.

The result could be mass extinction, including humanity.
