As If We Do Not Have Enough To Worry About,

what with the Coronavirus, 

here comes a reminder of another natural disaster that could end us all, Stephen Hawking's latest book release, Brief Answers to the Big Questions states that asteroids are the biggest threat to Earth, which is bad enough, but even worse when you hear that in the same year the B612 Foundation concluded in 2018 that it’s “100 percent certain we’ll be hit, but we’re not 100 percent sure when.” 

so how big are asteroids in our solar system? remember just in our solar system, not all of the universe, the video begins by comparing a human to one of the minor planets before revealing their enormity as the following asteroids quickly dwarf New York City in its entirety, 2008 TC3 is the smallest shown with a mean diameter of about 4.1 meters, while the largest is 1 Ceres, which has a mean diameter of about 939 kilometers, and these are just the ones we know about! the new animation created by Alvaro Gracia Montoya of MetaBallStudio provides a terrifying look at the exceptional asteroids currently in the solar system, what a worry, I think I need a drink!
