Astroids in Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy

It is estimated that probably 500 meteorites reach the surface of the Earth each year, but less than 10 are recovered.The most infamous asteroid that won't slam into Earth in 2029 is Apophis.An steroid the size of Apophis (370 metres) can be expected to impact Earth once in about 80,000 years.

The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is an irregular galaxy, the closest neighbouring galaxy to the Earth's location in the Milky Way, being located about 25,000 light-years (236,000,000,000,000,000 km) away from our Solar System.

Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is located in the same part of the sky as the constellation Canis Major. Canis Major is a constellation in the southern celestial hemisphere.The southern celestial hemisphere is also called the Southern Sky. Some constellations in the northern sky are Leo, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Aquarius and Pisces.

We hope that humans are able to travel that far one day if we are able to survive the dangers like asteroids, global warming ,climate change, racism, nationalism, hunger, wars, viruses (like coronavirus), sicknesses, etc.
