• Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9

If anyone still doubts the possibility that giant asteroids can and do impact planets, then a quick review of the July 16-22, 1994 comet impact of "Shoemaker-Levy 9" should remove any doubt. This comet plunged into Jupiter with detonating forces that far exceeds all the combined nuclear warheads on Earth. Even though the comet fragmented into 21 pieces before smashing into Jupiter, it took only one piece to blast a crater in the planet large enough to place two planets the size of Earth side-by-side!

If the impact on Jupiter is not evidence enough, examine the full moon with a pair of binoculars or an inexpensive telescope and you can clearly see hundreds of craters caused by asteroid impacts. The pockmarked surface of the moon proves there is a lot of debris floating around in space. In fact, scientists have recently documented more than 200 NEO’s (near-Earth objects) that regularly intersect Earth’s orbit around the sun each year! All this information proves a simple fact: Earth travels in a cosmic shooting gallery.
