These are the asteroids to worry about

What to study

Stakes & Tension

A monster asteroid fills the sky over a city, yet the red arrow points at a far smaller rock drifting beside it. If the giant is not the danger, which ones actually are? The title confirms a genuine threat without ever naming it.

How the packaging works
Title

The title says some asteroids deserve worry and refuses to name them.

Thumbnail

The thumbnail shows a giant rock but aims the arrow at a smaller one.

Remix this

Use this when the true danger in your topic is not the obvious one. Show the expected threat large, then point at the real one. The distance between what looks scary and what is genuinely scary drives the click.
