Scientists are trying to find a way to protect Earth from the giant rocks which travel around the Milky Way.

Run out of Berlin with funds from the EU, the NEOShield project, which will look for a way to protect earth from the space rocks, is expected to take three years to complete.

Some of the ideas being tossed around at the moment include repelling asteroids with projectiles or explosives or using gravity to change its course. The project though is a little late as a chunk of rock 400 times the City of London is set to hurtle closer than a rock of its size has in a very long time.

The asteroid labelled ‘(433) Eros’ measures 19 by 8 by 8 miles and is set to pass by next week.

Despite its massive size, the cosmic rock shouldn’t be too cause too much of a threat as it is on a circular path far outside the moon's orbit.

A smaller bus-sized asteroid is also set to pass extremely close to Earth today.

Meanwhile this is what NASA says about EROS .
The asteroids capable of causing a global disaster if they hit the Earth are extremely rare. They probably would need to be about a kilometer or more in diameter. Such bodies impact the Earth only once every 100,000 years on average. Other objects of a similar size, such as comets, impact even less frequently, perhaps once every 500,000 years or so.
Errr not putting to fine a point on it but when did the last Asteroid hit Earth 65 million years ago can we allow for error timewise because by then it will be too late considering that NASA the ones who we trust with our safety FAILED to notice the last 2 meteors that came very close to us .They will have just enough time to inform the rich and people who have paid to be somewhere else ie The Rothechilds ,Rockerfellers,and other members of the Illuminati (there is no denying they do exist),We will be the last to know so every penny has been screwed out of us before we die=
