   Astronomers have discovered a total of 20 asteroids that share an orbit with Venus. Almost all of these asteroids are highly eccentric, discovered when they were at their closest to Earth, which suggests there are many more that haven't been found. These asteroids are often lost in the glare of the Sun and could be a source of significant collision hazards with Earth, releasing the energy of hundreds of megatons of TNT if they struck our planet.
