There is a risk of an asteroid colliding with Earth within 4 weeks.

Scientists warn that "space killers" lurking behind Venus could crash into Earth, with humans only detecting them weeks before impact.

International scientists are warning about asteroids orbiting Venus that could collide with Earth within 2–4 weeks of warning. (Image: Science)

The three asteroids 2020 SB, 524522, and 2020 CL1 have diameters of up to 400 meters, enough to flatten an entire city if a collision were to occur. (Image: Business Today)

Because they are constantly obscured by sunlight, these objects are beyond the observation range of most ground-based telescopes. (Image: Times of India)

Research led by Valerio Carruba (University of São Paulo) shows that the orbits of these asteroids intersect Earth's orbit at dangerous points. (Image: Mashable India)

The minimum orbital intersection distance (MOID) of all three is less than 0.0005 AU, even closer than the distance from Earth to the Moon. (Image: Live Science)

If a collision were to occur, the energy released could be millions of times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. (Image: SciTechDaily)

The Rubin Observatory in Chile may be able to detect some asteroids from its blind spot near Venus, but the warning window will be very short. (Image: rubinobservatory.org)

Experts are calling for a dedicated probe near Venus to create a comprehensive map of potentially dangerous objects in space. (Image: The Conversation)
