Scientists determine near-Earth 

Scientists determine near-Earth Asteroids are thought to have been the cause of demise of the mighty dinosaurs, and many theories suggest they would probably be the reason for humanity's downfall too

Scientists actively monitor near-Earth asteroids through programs like NASA's Near-Earth Object Observations (NEOO) program. They use telescopes and other detection methods to identify and track potentially hazardous asteroids. Additionally, there are proposed methods for deflecting asteroids, such as using spacecraft to gently nudge them off course or employing explosive devices to alter their trajectory. These efforts aim to prevent a potential impact and minimize the risk to humanity. While the threat is real, ongoing research and preparedness help mitigate the risks associated with near-Earth asteroids.
