Study: Asteroid Death Chance Higher Than Rabies

Study: Asteroid Death Chance Higher Than Rabies

Scientists studied how likely it is to die from an asteroid compared to other things, like getting rabies.

They found that you're slightly more likely to be killed by an asteroid than rabies, but both are rare.

The study looked at asteroids near Earth and how often they might hit.

This helps people understand the risks of everyday events, similar to considering the chances of a car crash or lightning strike.

This research aims to put asteroid risks into perspective.
