Collisions with comets and asteroids

Article Abstract:

The chances of a comet or asteroid colliding with the Earth are remote, but the results would be catastrophic. Asteroids are the more possible danger, as they are located in a belt within the solar system. Scientific efforts to track asteroids and comets are discussed.
