Asteroid Impacts Bigger Risk Than Thought 172
Rambo Tribble (1273454) writes "The B612 Foundation, a U.S.-based nuclear test monitoring group, has disclosed that their acoustic sensors show asteroid impacts to be much more common than previously thought. Between 2000 and 2013 their infrasound system detected 26 major explosions due to asteroid strikes. The impacts were gauged at energies of 1 to 600 kilotons, compared to 45 kilotons for 1945 Hiroshima bomb."

If I find a magic lamp one day the first thing I'm wishing for is not rustproof +2 grey dragon scale-mail but the removal from existence of click-bait. Hint: "asteroid strikes more common than thought" would have been interesting enough to get me here, morons.

Nothing landed at 600 kilotons. That event would have been noticed, so I'm not sure about the purpose of the hyperbole.
