☄️ What are the chances of an asteroid hitting Earth? 🌍 And if one were on its way, could we stop it?

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson dives into this cosmic question in his latest video. A must-watch for space enthusiasts! 🚀

An asteroid hitting Earth isn’t a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’ ⏳. Let’s get serious about planetary defence. 🛰️ #NASA #AsteroidAwareness #SpaceSafety #AsteroidImpact ladbible.com/news/science/nasa

Why did the dinosaurs extinct, but birds and mammals survived? 🤔🦖 Hans Sues explains. This video explains the leading theory: the Chicxulub asteroid impact!

#Science question.

How far down would you need to dig to be safe from an Asteroid Impact equal to what wiped out the Dinosaurs?

Did a Comet Airburst Destroy a Native American Community?

Astronomers know the large-scale devastation that can happen when a large comet or asteroid explodes in the atmosphere. Think of the Tunguska impact 1908 that flattened trees for 2,220 square kilometers of unpopulated Siberian forest. What if something like this happened to an inhabited place? Archeologists think this might have happened to the Ohio River Valley 1600-1700 years ago, wiping out the aboriginal Hopewell civilizations. The evidence isn't clear, though, and other scientists disagree.

Day 1⃣of the #PlanetaryDefense Conference 2023!

The 5-day event happens every two years, bringing together asteroid experts and decision-makers from around the globe.

This year in Vienna, attendees will again have to deal with a fake #asteroidimpact scenario😲🌍☄️

Quoting #ESA Operations:

"Last estimation shows #Sar2667's point of impact getting much closer to the #Rouen area.

Like any competent review article a great way to sidle up to a topic.

As Edward Teller once pointed out, nuking asteroids is actually the most effective way to avoid an impact, and the only way to do so without much advance warning. The catch? To instantly vaporize an object 1 kilometer across you need a *1 gigaton* warhead. 👀

Painting is of the Chicxulub impact by Donald E. Davis for NASA.

Ever wondered about impacts of an asteroid on your local area?

Now you can have >fun< with this simulator neal.fun/asteroid-launcher/
It shows size of crater, fireball, shockwave, wind blast and earthquake produced...

#AsteroidImpact #Simulation #Disasters

Map selection for the Asteroid Launcher site showing SE Australia and the tools to select type of asteroid, speed, angle etcThe size of the resulting crater, estimated deaths, relative frequency of such an impact and other effects are shown

I have a digital painting to show for the first time today that fits in with the topic of International Asteroid Day, "Fire in the sky", my first attempt at depicting a meteor strike.
