  • Some seriously large asteroids have threatened Earth before. Some of these asteroids have little chance of hitting us but there are a few with very real chances of making contact. What happens if a large asteroid or comet hits Earth? And what are the chances something like Oumuamua or Bennu could actually hit our planet?

    The knowledge that there are relatively small asteroids that can still cause an explosion like an atomic bomb like the 2 that hit russia (Tunguska and the more recent one I'm not even gonna attempt to spell the name of that city ) can hit us at anytime without us knowing about it before it impacts is kinda worrying to me and thank our lucky stars that they didn't hit populated areas but with the rate the world's population is growing it's just a matter of when and not if one of those small meteors will hit a city and cause significant damage and possibly loss of life. And the earth gets hit more often than most people think I've seen 2 meteorites that made it through the atmosphere and then break up into a bunch of tiny pieces. Both times I was out in the country and don't know if any of the fragments actually made landfall or was turned to dust when they broke apart so there could be a meteor somewhere out in the 2 fields I seen them at. Also witnessing those are what made me realize that small meteors making it through the atmosphere before being burnt up is probably way more common than most of us think, they just happen out in the middle of nowhere so barely anyone ever gets to see them

  • @alexbowman7582
    @alexbowman7582 Před 2 lety +63

    The Russian meteor struck the atmosphere at a shallow angle and this deflected much of the energy keeping it high up. If it had struck at a steep angle approaching 90 degrees to the horizon it would have caused more damage.

    Fun fact:

    Ida's gravity is so large that it even has a tiny little moon orbiting it!
    Ida's moon, Dactyl, has a diameter of 1,4 kilometers (0,87 miles) and was discovered in 28th of August, 1993 by Ann Harch. It completes an orbit around its papa (Ida) every 37 hours.

    A lot of large asteroids are what we call "rubble piles". They're held together by gravity, and are basically a big pile of rocks. Gravitational interaction with earth would likely break them apart into many smaller bodies.

      The asteroid would just nullify the supervolcano. It would cause a crater probably wider than most caldera, the heat upon impact would cause more molten rock than whats under a supervolcano, the initial destruction area would be bigger than the eruption due to the speed of impact and the dust in the atmosphere would be the same if not worse than the ash from the supervolcano.

    Geologists tell us that our planet Earth has the most to fear from an asteroid impact or volcano eruptions. But when we look at the many horizontal layers that we find everywhere on our planet, we clearly see the effect of a repeating cataclysm. These disasters are mentioned in ancient books like the Mahabharata from India and the Popol Vuh from the Mayans and others. They tell us about a cycle of seven disasters that separate the world eras. Certainly, a cycle of regularly recurring global disasters cannot be caused by asteroid impacts or volcanic eruptions. The only possible cause is another celestial body, a planet, orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit. Then it is close to the sun for a short period and after the crossing at a very high speed it disappears into the universe for a long time. Planet 9 exists, but it seems invisible. These disasters cause a huge tidal wave of seawater that washes over land "above the highest mountains." At the end it covers the earth with a layer of wet mud, a mixture of sand, clay, lime, fossils of marine and terrestrial animals and small and larger meteorites. The Northerns hemisphere is covered wich a layer of ice that fell down "in blocks as great as mountains". These disasters also create a cycle of civilizations. To learn much more about the recurring flood cycle, the re-creation of civilizations and its chronology and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9

    FYI comets and meteors are now known to be the same, pretty much. So far every single comet we have visited via probes have shown no ice / water, they are all rocky. The tail is not made of melting ice, in fact most comet tails can be seen so far away from the sun it would be impossible to melt it even if they did have ice. The comet tails are as the result of a different phenomena not yet fully understood but it is electrical in nature, something like the aurora. Physicist Wallace Thornhill explains it very well.

    • @Daneelro
      @Daneelro Před 2 lety

      Complete hogwash. You were listening to a well-known professional crank.
      Probes visiting comets _did_ find ice. They often found ice in states other than expected (say the Philae lander found solid ice on comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko instead of fluffy snow), but ice nevertheless.
      We know what comet tails are made of for a long time now because we can look at their spectra. It's not one thing. The melting point of water is irrelevant because some of it is water vapour from solid ice via sublimation, some of it is the evaporation of other ices with lower evaporation point which would be gases on Earth, some of it is fine dust, and some of the gas is turned into ions that get stuck in the solar magnetosphere. Most comets tend to have both a faint ion tail and a bright dust tail because the two move away at different speeds and on different paths.
      The ion tails _are_ electrical by their nature, as are the ions that impact Earth's atmosphere when following magnetic lines which connect the Sun's and the Earth's magnetic fields (near Earth's poles) to form an aurora, but the light you see has a different origin.

    Does a Asteroid's shape have an appreciable effect on the impact of either the earth or atmosphere. If an elongated asteroid like oumuamua hits flat side facing the earth would the atmosphere try to turn it straight on and could such stress be a cause for air bursts

    • @Daneelro
      @Daneelro Před 2 lety +2

      At the speeds these asteroids are moving relative to the Earth, crossing the atmosphere is mere seconds, not enough time to any significant rotation effect. The only difference it would make is the exact height of an airburst, but that's also influenced by the angle and speed of impact and the structural integrity of the asteroid (some are solid, others like piles of dust). If the asteroid is big enough to reach the surface largely intact, its shape will have very little influence on the shape of the impact crater because most of the impactor will evaporate in the impact, along with the impacted portion of Earth's crust, and the crater is dug out by the explosion of the firewall (that's why most impact craters are circular, regardless of the impact angle).

      That is a very good reasonable way to think and feel UNLESS YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CHILDREN OR OTHERS LIVES. If you choose not to prepare for your children you are an absolute failure of a parent!! When you are given a completely innocent life to raise your SUSPOSED TO CHERISH AND PROTECT THAT LIFE UPTO AND INCLUDING YOUR OWN! AT THE VERY LEAST YOU NEED FOOD AND WATER FOR A YEAR SOME SAY 5 YEARS. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A HUGE STORAGE SPACE GET THE SURVIVER TABLETS AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS! YES YOU WILL GET BORED EATING THE SAME THING BUT THERE ARE 3 OR 4 FLAVORS AND THEY ARE GOOD FOR 25 YEARS SO ONCE YOU GET ENOUGH YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ROTATION OR BUYING MORE. IF YOU BUY CANNED WATER IT'S THE SAME THING...NOTICE I said canned not boxed. Canned doesn't expire if the can is still intact. But if it's rusted through or discolored anything like that when you open it up either use it with Grey water or life straw it. You need to shake the can to get air back in the water or it will taste strange like distilled water. Thats the absolute minimum. With a year setup if you still want to check out you will more than likely be able to find a group that will be willing to take in your child because it is not an immediate hit on resources and because they know that every single child that survives is one more person to restart humanity. The children are going to be protected by everyone who is able to. The check out lines are only going to be asked not to do it and leave children alone without any protection or allow them to see it so they can be told that they lost those close to them in an honorable way. They need to know that the person who brought them there loved them enough to keep them safe.
      So if you have no one to take care of or would hurt the self check out is your own choice. If you have any one you need taking care of you need to get in a line with a cashier before you cash out.
