NASA keeps a constant watch for ‘potentially hazardous’ asteroids which can pose a threat to Earth. NASA is also preparing for the worst case scenario- an asteroid crash. Yes, an asteroid may even crash against Earth. In fact, in a shocking development, an asteroid actually crashed into the planet just a day ago on March 11! Earlier, it was scheduled to fly past Earth at a distance of 2,890 kilometres, but due to the gravitational pull of the Earth, the asteroid was dragged towards our planet and it eventually crashed into it. Thankfully, it did not cause any casualties! The reason being that it was too small, just above a metre, and it crashed in a remote region- Greenland.

However, it certainly draws attention to the fact that asteroids are as dangerous as they are unpredictable and pose a serious threat to Earth. While this asteroid was small, there are bigger asteroids in space that can cause global damage and can even pose a threat to the very existence of humanity and all life forms on Earth.

Now, it has been revealed that NASA has actually carried on a secret mission to deal with such a threat. The space agency NASA, along with FEMA, the United States Space Command, and other federal, state and local agencies came together for a Planetary Defense Interagency Tabletop Exercise, to assess the ability to respond effectively to an asteroid impact threat to Earth.

Well, the good news is NASA itself confirmed that 'there are no predicted asteroid impact threats to our planet for the foreseeable future' but as seen yesterday, there can be potential threats turning into reality for Earth. To prepare for the worst, the NASA has tested the efficacy of an action plan related to potential natural disasters to ensure full
