NASA has a brief video showing all the known asteroids in our solar system. While most of us know that there is an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and that occasionally an asteroid visits the vicinity of Earth... be prepared for a shock: There are FAR MORE asteroids in our vicinity than you believe!
NASA is vitally interested in discovering and tracking these space rocks (of all shapes and sizes) as they are a threat to Earth, granted rare in these days but still a viable threat.
The good news is that our atmosphere (not to mention the Moon) has protected us from these impacts for the most part.
