You can imagine what it would mean today in an area as densely populated as ohio, which currently I think has 11 and a half million inhabitants, that's why it's important to know these issues, that's why it's important to investigate asteroids, comets and Have a plan.


The conclusion is that there are no asteroids larger than a kilometer, neither in 2027 nor in the next 100 or 200 years, but there is a risk of impact with smaller objects that can cause a lot of damage and therefore we must develop our planetary defense technology .
