"In 10 to 20 years' time, we will know for certain whether any cataclysms arising from the impact of a large asteroid are looming," said Nikolai Zheleznov, a senior fellow at the Applied Astronomy Institute. "We guarantee that sooner or later, some asteroid will collide with Earth. This is a question of when rather than if, but we cannot say just yet whether it will happen in 10 or in 100 million years. An asteroid strike led to the extinction of the dinosaurs, but if we face the danger now, I hope we will be able to avert it, as many ways to ward off destructive asteroids have been developed in theory."
