About What Nearly Hit Us

Every single day, hundreds of tons of space rock enter Earth upper atmosphere, and millions of asteroids cruise through the inner solar system. Most news reports either ignore these events or sensationalize them with apocalyptic headlines.

What Nearly Hit Us was built to replace clickbait with curious, plain language and precise human-scale comparisons. We translate abstract numbers into everyday landmarks, maintain permanent machine-readable fact pages for researchers and journalists, and make planetary defense data accessible to all.
