We knew this asteroid would hit Earth (and mostly burn up in the atmosphere) - and that's a really big deal. It’s only the 9th time we’ve detected an asteroid before it hit. Here's why... and how we're fixing that. Our current telescopes have identified we think around 94% of the largest asteroids in our Solar System. So the main challenge are the medium sized ones, which could still cause real damage, and we think we’ve only located 38% them. Luckily, scientists are currently building new telescopes that could increase that number to 60% by 2025 or 76% by 2027.
