The Earth has been hit by an asteroid many times before. Some small, some large - as in the asteroid that made the dinosaurs extinct 65 million years ago.

The last notable event was in 2008 when an asteroid (2008 TC3) hit Sudan.

Many "small" asteroids "hit" the Earth every year, but they are destroyed by the Earths atmosphere before they reach the ground.
