nightsky.jpl.nasa.govHow often do asteroids hit Earth? In the beginning of Earth's history, asteroids were constantly hitting the Earth. This was called the Heavy Bombardment Phase and ended 3.8 billion years ago, allowing a more stable environment for life to form. In Earth's recent history, there are fewer impacts, but they do still happen.

Some near earth objects are potentially large enough to be hazardous to the Earth in the event of a direct collision. Although impact with large objects is rare, the history of Earth indicates that such events do occur. A better understanding of the likelihood
