Why do so many asteroids go unnoticed? Join us... and find out!

There are thousands of asteroids speeding through the solar system... and if a big enough rock ever smashed into Earth, then it could be the end of life on this planet! That's why NASA keeps its eyes on the sky, trying to track all asteroids that are a threat to us... but they don't catch them all! In this video, we ask why NASA regularly misses asteroids, and whether we should be worried about the future?
