Shocking simulations shows how asteroid that might strike Earth could destroy cities
An incredible simulation has shown exactly what would happen if a 'city killer' asteroid was to hit Earth. That's right, a space rock the size of the Statue of Liberty is heading for our planet, although there's only a 2.3 percent chance of it colliding with us.
The Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System in Chile, dubbed ATLAS, came across the space rock while observing the ...
if it did hit Earth, it would be much more likely to impact the ocean than a city, he said. “And in the deep ocean, an impact would have no severe consequences either.” Though astronomers ...
Rankin calculated that it has a 0.3% chance of sustaining a deep impact. Unlike the Earth, our natural satellite lacks an atmosphere to shield it, so YR4 would hit at around 30,000 miles per ...
