Hidden Asteroids Near Venus Could One Day Hit Earth

Could Earth be in danger from asteroids we can’t even see? Scientists have identified a hidden population of asteroids sharing Venus’ orbit — and they might one day threaten our planet. These Venus co-orbitals are nearly impossible to detect with ground-based telescopes because of their close proximity to the Sun. But new simulations reveal that some of them could drift into Earth’s path over thousands of years, carrying enough energy to cause devastating impact events.

In this video, we break down what these asteroids are, why they’ve stayed hidden, and how space-based missions like NASA’s NEO Surveyor could help us find them before it’s too late.
