Seeing is believing. But seeing a huge rock half the size of Earth smash into Jupiter in July 1996 was
incredible. Can you imagine what would happen if Earth collided with a huge space rock? It would be
disastrous. In fact, it is thought that a meteor killed the dinosaurs millions of years ago.
A rock like the one that hit Jupiter could split Earth in two. Doing nothing about it is like waiting
for the end of the world. So scientists plan to start project to identify all space rocks that could hit
Earth.
