The smaller one's usually burst in the atmosphere due to the entry heat. Tunguska event occurred in 1908 over Siberia (mostly unpopulated) destroyed 80 kilometers of forest.
Life is terrible ..
Mankind "we must keep trees going to save mankind"
Astroids "I'm not having this"
As of today it's not yet fully accepted that the Tunguska event was actually caused by an asteroid as scientists have not found any trace of the asteroid anywhere near where it hit, despite several expeditions to the "crater". There have even been peer reviewed papers published that claimed it could have been a rogue, micro black hole instead, as such an event would not leave behind any fragments. What's really strange about the Tunguska event is that despite the massive force of the impact there was no trace of the asteroid, with an impactor that big you'd expect to find something, even if microscopic. The fact there isn't a single shred of evidence is why it's regarded as one of the most mysterious impacts ever discovered and why it's referred to as the Tunguska Event and not the Tunguska Asteroid or Tunguska Comet. The only reason scientists even found out about it was because the trees around the impact site were completely annihilated but there was no crater found at all, which is very odd for such a large object.
@@distantraveller9876 except they did find traces of iron and nickel spheres, nor is it odd that airbursts leave no crater...that's why they're airbursts, the meteor disintegrates. the only real question was what type of meteor it was, something more cometary is the current fit for the profile of the event. seems you heard something somewhere and never bothered to fact-check it or yourself.
The Chixulub one was the one that wiped the dinosaurs out. It hit the area that is now the Yucatán peninsula of Mexico.
….., but half+_ of it hit the Gulf of Mexico.
@@gsbealerDoesn’t matter, at that size it is still hitting land. The land under the water, as in the seabed.
Twue!
they were two of them. other one is called Nadir
Chixulub asteroid
15-20km/9-12mi/45000ft-60000ft
I think they’re blowing up in the air because they cant get through the atmosphere. They don’t have enough mass, strength, speed, so they break apart. We see this in real life as well.
Correct. Tons of little meteorites land on earth daily. It's very common. People think they are worth something when in reality gravel is worth much more.
No it’s the glass dome around the flat earth that prevents it
@@EMD1028 Well it depends on the meteorite origin. If you happen to find a rock that comes from Mars, you just hit jackpot !
Speed they got enough of, that's part of the problem why they burn up
The 'Chixulub Event' is the asteroid impact that is believed to be the main cause of Dinosaurs going extinct.
The friction of all the air they have to smash through on the way through the atmosphere is enough to smash apart a good amount of smaller space rocks
There is a family in New Jersey who had a small meteorite about the size of a handball come through their roof down through the 2nd floor and crack the oak floor in the living room. They were home at the time. Big question is it covered by homeowners insurance or considered a nature event?
Those iron meteorites are quite valuable, so it should pay for the cost of the repairs to they're home
I just saw the story today right before I saw your comment lol. From google and then to CZcams lol. The rock was 4.6 billion years old.
Edit: I’d keep it if I were them and have scientists pay me in order to study and run tests on it.
@@kev792 I would cut it up and sell it in small pieces or sell it as a whole depending on its value. I bought a small chunk of meteorite off from Amazon a few years back for $20 but this one weighs 2.2 pounds so I'm sure it's worth quite a bit
It’s called an “act of God” and some services do cover those expenses. Depends on the insurance company though.
The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs is actually at 6:42 in the video (the Chicxulub event)
When a meteor or asteroid comes hurtling toward Earth, the high-pressure air in front of it seeps into its pores and cracks, pushing the body of the meteor apart and causing it to explode.
Thanks for the info
@@kevinprzy4539 you’re welcome
Moldavite (Czech: vltavín) is a forest green, olive green or blue greenish vitreous silica projectile glass formed by a meteorite impact in southern Germany (Nördlinger Ries Crater) that occurred about 15 million years ago. It is a type of tektite and a gemstone.
Nuclear devices are designed to do what is called an airburst explosion. Far more damage on a larger area then a conventional impact device that has to hit the ground to detonate. Smaller Meteors tend to airbust just like the devices do, from the heat they generate when going through the atmosphere. 4:28 Yes in northern Russia. June 30, 1908.
So we learn from this flim that we all should love each other
Sacrifice your ego , anger , bad attitude
Because humans don't have garantee of their life so be nice with each other ❤❤
Well that was cheery!
Smaller ones have less mass/volume to shred off as they rip through the atmosphere, the heat and air friction will heat and rip them apart, if they're big enough though they'll have the extra mass to shred off and hit the ground before being completely ripped apart by the heat and air friction
fun fact: about a week ago a meteorite (about 4 inches wide) hit a house about 3/4ths of a mile from my house (or about 1km). Super rare for a meteor to hit a house. If interested, look up "Titusville, NJ meteorite hits house"
Anti-Asteroid Missile Systems do not currently exist. Many small asteroids/meteors hit us regularly, and most are too small to detect in advance.
The first few asteroids on this video burn up/explode in the atmosphere. When you are watching a video, and you see a sudden flash of light crossing the sky, it could be one of these burning up before it hits theground.
Luckily the time between Chixulub-sized impacts is 490 million years. The last one occurred, as mentioned in other comments, at the time the dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago.
If you search for images of the Tunguska event you can find some good pictures of the aftermath. I don't think Tunguska hit the ground. It's airburst was powerful enough to level large areas of forest though.
The 490 million year frequency was the one that wiped out the dinosaurs, when it impacted the Yucatán peninsula in Mexico
You asked about the one that is believed to have extincted the dinosaurs. I think this is the one they called the "Chixicub Event." I butchered the spelling obviously, but you know what I mean. That was the impact that created the Gulf of Mexico if my memory serves me correctly. /// You also asked about the Tunguska Event. That was believed to be a comet impact that hit northern Siberia in 1908. You'll find tons of info about it if you google Tunguska. /// The airburst ones: Small meteors don't reach the ground intact. They burn up and dissociate on re-entry from atmospheric friction (like a spacecraft would without its heat shield). After exploding at altitude, a blizzard of smaller fragments may continue and strike the ground like a spray of shotgun pellets.
The Chicxulub meteor hit a bit of the Yucatán Peninsula, in Mexico, and the rest hit a section of the Gulf. It didn’t create the Gulf of Mexico.
@@gsbealer Good clarification. Thanks!
A further correction to the comment above me, the tunguska event was likely an asteroid, not a comet.
Following a meteor strike the size of Chicxulub, fires would rage from flaming debris. There’d be one hell of a tsunami which would be devastating. The amount of debris thrown into the atmosphere would hide, or at least reduce, sunlight shutting down plant growth and dropping annual temperatures. The earth would probably be thrown into years of winter-like temps. Starvation on a massive scale. Flooding. Gigantic forest fires (pumping additional smoke and ash into the atmosphere).
It would not be a good day or year. I mean, look what volcanoes did in 536-540 A.D. Magnify that.
The epic music to a graphic made me laugh at the beginning lol
'It doesnt hit the UK so we are safe'
Except for the fact that the earths atmosphere is going to immediately become an oven, followed by a century of winter due to the dust.
The one that killed the dinosaurs was just over 15km in size. It's called the Chicxulub asteroid and would be the equivalent of the one shown at 6:51. Though 15km might seem small it was enough to cause a "nuclear" winter. That's basically when there's so much ash and soot released into the atmosphere that it blocks out any sunlight for years or even decades, this caused most plant life to die out, which in turn caused most of the plant eating dinosaurs to die out due to lack of food, which in turn caused the carnivorous (meat eating) dinosaurs to die out as there were no prey left for them to eat.
That boom is them entering earth’s atmosphere
Another thing not mentioned is the potential fires sending a LOT of ash into the sky that will be blown around in weather, also triggering torrential rain.
The one that killed the dinosaurs is the one that wiped out Manhattan
The asteroid that killed the Dinosaurs was at 6:43 in the video. The Chicxulub Metor.
7:07 The frequency doesnt mean thats how long ago the event occurred. It meams thats the average tome between events of that size. The Chicxulub event occurred 65 Million years ago, that's the impact that took of the dinosaurs.
A massive amount of energy would be released but this would not turn the Earth into the Sun. The process of star formation is entirely different.
3:09 So, in order for an asteroid or meteor to reach Earth’s surface, it needs to be massive. So what’s going on here is that they are burning up before they reach the surface, which is why the second bigger asteroid was a bigger explosion and some smaller fragments did make it to the surface, but nothing from the first asteroid made it to the surface.
Edit: the bigger the asteroid, the more insulated the core of the asteroid will be, increasing the chances of an impact. If they blow an asteroid up into small pieces in space before it can reach the atmosphere, all the fragments will just burn up because they don’t have enough mass for the core to be protected from burning.
Applause to the cameraman who filmed this
The Tunguska event was in 1908. The Chixulub event was 66 million years ago and is what is thought to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. The times given are not when they occurred but approximately how often a meteor of that size hits the earth. Also if a meteor that size were to hit anywhere on Earth the whole world would be affected
Watch also Lion and Tigers Greatest fights
Tunguska was June 30th, 1908. As big as 50m not 90m & certainly more frequent than 4500 yrs.
Friction from the atmosphere (heat) causes the airbursts.
Damn, gonna have to have one last party.
Seeing this I feel bad for all dinosaurs that lived in new year city, glad I live so far away
If you see a shooting star, thats a small meterorite burning up in Earth's atmosphere.
One day, the entire planet will be turned into a burning ember. Have a festive day.
actualmente hay videos donde se ve realmente la entrada de los primeros objetos, y son eventos muy famosos, el de 20km sesupone quefue el causante de la extincion de los dinosaurios, y creo que el ultimo hace referencia ala creacion de la luna,
Because entry into Earth's atmosphere causes considerable heat from friction, most asteroids under a certain size can't withstand that ant disintegrate before impacting Earth. The material the asteroid is made of affects this, however. The material also has a major influence on what happens if it does impact, too. And, whether it hits land or water is very important as land could be heavily populated, but water can lead to major tidal waves. The Tunguska event (Tunguska is a river in Russia) happened in 1908 but it's estimated an event of that type happens every 4500 years on average.
The one that killed off the dinos was only estimated at 6 miles or 10 kilometers in size.
Was only 6 miles ? , that's fu*kn humongous, bigger then mount everest. !
how do you not know about the atmosphere? we actually get hit my multiple small meteoroids and asteroids every day but they just burn up in the atmosphere.
Apophis is coming in April 13, 2029....get ready to rock and roll Earthlings.
About the size of a world war 2 American battleship. They claim it's going to mess us but I don't know if they're telling the truth
@@1980bcman I think their lying, and will collide with the earth if not in 2029 ? maybe 2036 when it comes back around. they just don't want a mass hysterical panic.
The atomic bomb is more interesting than the imagination taken to space. Haha
This made me think moon is slowly moving away from us, and wonder how close moon was from us when first life on earth was
According to current knowledge, the Tunguska event was a 200 meter iron-nickel asteroid. This gave the earth a glancing blow and still triggered such a huge explosion that 2000 square kilometers of forest were destroyed
A meteorite just went thru a family home in New Jersey and the rock impacted the family room.
a quick "hey google" could make so many things clear for you guys as you react :) just a suggestion
I'm genuinely shocked at how little they know. It was embarrassing to watch.
Them: Talks too much
Me: *s h u t u p*
British space agency i beleive is the ones who had a small object fly into an asteroid like a year ago to see if we can push it, and it worked. so it changed its direction of path, and that is probably what we will do if one is detected on a course for Earth
You're talking about The Double Asteroid Redirect Test D.A.R.T, and it was from NASA.
Well that was right terrifying! Very informative at the same time. What was not being conveyed was the devastation level for even the smallest ones. The later ones were obvious. But live ending occurred at Chixulub. The one that was 49 million years. That was the one that led to the end of the dinosaurs. Of course, eventually that was to our benefit. The next time one that size appears, if impactful, well we will watch any others from our perch in the Cosmos. Unless we reincarnate into a succor species? They say the Cockroach's can survive almost anything...... Peace, my friends.
66 million years actually
A lot of asteroids blow up before impact.
The Tsar bomb was actually 50 million tons of TNT, not 5 million.
I would say that the impact that the last one made would probably break the planet into pieces, that’s a lot of energy being forced upon it.
No that's not enough to break the planet, you would need something a LOT bigger and a LOT faster to achieve that.
@@khenricx have you done the test that proves or disproves what both of us asserted because you write as if you’ve seen it before?
@@GT-mq1dx It's a matter of physics, we can simulate that.
For example, we estimate that in order for the Moon to be created, the Earth had to be impacted by a body the size of Mars at orbital velocity.
Mars is around 1000 time more massive than Ceres, the last asteroid we see in the simulation.
And yet it was STILL not enough to blow the Earth apart.
There's also a lot of craters and clues on other celestial bodies showing they had their fair share of giant impacts too, yet they are still around today.
So yeah, I'm pretty confident when I say an asteroid the size of Ceres would be far from enough to blow the Earth apart.
The meteorites that land on earth are Wirth less than a gravel stone. Scientist say tons land on earth every day. They disintegrate when entering our atmosphere. Sophie thinks it's missiles shooting them 😂😂😂
Not the three brightest of the OB-chanels are they, not even when it's written out AND simulated in front of them. LOL
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
The moon is approximately 11-12 times bigger than the last meteoritein the video….
smaller ones burn up in the atmosphere
Cool reaction guys. The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs (Chixicub) was roughly 10km in diameter
Y'all never heard of atmospheric entry?
I guess not. Sophie believes it's missiles shooting them 🤦🏻♂️
@@EMD1028 60m metric tons rocketing toward Earth at 40k mph, that better be one hell of a missile 😆
@@seanmikhael1767 absolutely. Not sure is the missile needed exists.
Just lol
Too bad they didn't put the largest object to hit Earth. A planetoid around Mars's size. It created Luna...uh the Moon.
At 1:50, the original video says that the Tsar Bomba was 5 megatons of TNT, equivalent to 3.33 Hiroshima bombs. Both numbers are wrong. The Tsar Bomba was 50 megatons, which is 3,333.33 Hiroshima bombs.
I see someone is digging the flowerpot model LOL ..... get the lad to a proper hairdresser ffs!
a depressing video..
Call me selfish, but that's how I want to go out. Giant assed meteor taking us all out. It sure beats dying of diabetes because I had a genetic predisposition and shouldn't have eaten so many chocolate bars and Cokes.
They cant know most of that, its never happened.
What is that dumb music on that video, i could not listen
so dumb😡
Just remember that the moon was formed by a large celestial object impacting earth. The debris that flew off from earth eventually formed the Moon
Allegedly
@@chrisp308 Nah, clearly some magical man in the sky said "moon!" and it appeared. /s
The smaller asteroids are breaking up in the atmosphere.
The Chicxulub event happened ~65 million years ago. That's what killed off the dinosaurs. That was the size of the 20 km shown in the video.
