Our planet is attacked daily by thousands of fragments of asteroids and comets.

Small ones, the size of a pea, burn up in the atmosphere before reaching the surface.

Other space guests can also fly to Earth.

Recently, with the help of the Russian robotic telescope network, astrophysicist Vladimir Lipunov discovered the potentially dangerous asteroid 2014 UR116, its size is larger than the asteroid Apophis already known to earthlings, however, there is no answer yet how seriously this asteroid threatens the Earth.
