    “Chuck skipped through the rest of the preamble to the actual examples
    Spaceguard had chronicled:
    “On March 23rd, 1989, an asteroid designated Asteroid 1989FC missed
    hitting the Earth by six hours. This little jewel packed the energy of
    roughly a thousand of the most powerful nuclear bombs, and the human
    race became aware of it shortly after its closest approach. Had this celestial
    baseball been only six hours later most of the population of the Earth
    would have been eliminated with zero warning.”
    “In October of 1990, an asteroid that would have been considered
    very small, struck the Pacific Ocean. This little fellow only packed the
    energy of a small atomic bomb, about the same as the one that flattened
    Hiroshima, and if it had arrived a few hours later or earlier it could have
    easily struck a city rather than making a relatively harmless splash into
    the center of the ocean. Remember, relatively here, is just a comparative
    term.”   ”

    “She adjusted her body weight and caught his eyes, her gaze shiny and with a tinge of sadness. “My grandmother told me once that the world is filled with ghosts.
