Earth in danger? Giant ‘city-killer’ asteroids hiding near Venus could strike without warning; scientists warn

Astronomers have identified a cluster of giant asteroids sharing Venus's orbit, posing a potential long-term threat to Earth due to their size and unpredictable paths. These 'city killers,' difficult to detect because of the Sun's glare, could be nudged toward Earth by gravitational forces. Enhanced monitoring, especially with space-based telescopes, is crucial for planetary defense.
