Unnoticed asteroids may threaten Earth
According to Russian astronomer Mikhail Maslov, not all potentially threatening asteroids to Earth have been discovered yet. The approach of the asteroid Apophis, which was discovered in 2004 and is roughly the size of a skyscraper, on April 13, 2029, at a distance of about 32,000 kilometers, is considered a significant event because it will pass extremely close compared to other asteroids. Although most of the large known asteroids do not pose an imminent threat, the challenges of monitoring smaller objects remain due to the limited capabilities of current observation systems, despite their relative advancements in sensitivity.
