Estimates say that a vehicle-sized asteroid explodes in our atmosphere about once per year, often too high to make a noticeable impact.
But in 2013, a small meteor exploded just 20 miles above Chelyabinsk, Russia that sent over 1,200 people to the hospital.
Today, a team of experts from NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office works diligently to find asteroids that travel near Earth’s orbit.
They’ve released a plan in order to prevent a large-scale asteroid impact, and part of this plan is the DART mission.
DART aims to travel to the asteroid Didymos in 2021 to demonstrate the tech that could be used to redirect an asteroid headed for Earth.
It's a collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), whose Hera spacecraft will follow up and observe the results of the impact on the asteroid and map Didymos's surface and interior structure.

What do you think of this plan?
I honestly think it's brilliant
@Charles Yuditsky Haha, blowing up an asteroid with a nuke would be pretty entertaining, ngl. Doing it on an object on a path to intersect us might be risky, though, even on smaller asteroids. The fragments that were created might not be big enough to cause an extinction level event, but they could have the potential to destroy satellites or cause other problems.
@@mitchellswartzell3027 We like it too, it's cool that we'll be able to see the results of such a futuristic experiment in just a few years.
Freethink at first I thought the timer said time till death
Black hole weapon nuclear energy with negative energy could destroyed the asteroid temporarily
This asteroid needs to hear about social distancing

It is just the ETs is their craft disguised as an asteroid. They don't have coronavirus.

Can 2020 stop trying to kill us every 00.2 seconds
Chmot Gali-Garcia it’s suppose to happen it will only get worse everything that’s happening are signs that the end of time is near not trying to scare you but people need to think about this stuff and understand. I believe in god and this doesn’t surprise me I’m just waiting on Jesus to come from the east and take me and then open the eyes of the non believers and the scientists that’s always disregarded him.
lofi pro wut
Rapture bruh
Chmot Gali-Garcia you said can 2020 stop trying to kill us and I’m telling you it’s going to get worse for us it’s suppose to happen I’m not surprised about this or the corona or what’s about to happen
SiegeDaddy iG exactly my friend you are not blind like some people are it’s sad to think how many people are blind!

I can't find anything on the internet about how possible it would be for a nations state like China or Russia to re-direct an asteroid to hit America or vice versa?
@@Morristown337 An individual nation is a VERY small target in space travel terms, a tiny course change can change the destination by millions of miles. hitting a specific nation compared to just knocking it away from us entirely is like the difference between hitting a baseball away with a bat, vs hitting the ball so presicely it lands in an opponents mug the other side of the city, without damaging the highly breakable vases that belong to you that surround it. Not physically impossible, but out of the question with our current tech level.
Let’s just use a big trampoline so it will bounce back into space
Damn you saved us bro, nice one!
Great one, now we’ll have an abundant amount of supplies even after the thing is built.
That’s what I was thinking we could make arms to hold the giant net. But there is one problem we don’t know how big it is and we don’t have a material strong enough to withstand the impact we could use chains and weave them into a net and it would probably give enough force to move it more then just making a crater🤷♂️
@@burningadrenaline899 bro that was a joke btw

Don't panic. The title is misleading.
The only asteroid coming is during April, and that's going to safely fly by, millions of miles away.

Franklin Clinton I just finished watching the video. I thought this was all for the April 29th asteroid that’s calculated to miss. Didn’t realize there was another one a couple years down the road till now.
No need to be condescending bud. Honestly, I am pursuing a doctorate degree in astronomy and physics. I’m a first year physics student at Vanderbilt University. As a thriving undergraduate, I’ll have the opportunity to do research under the guidance of superb faculty representing many specialties, including biological physics, astrophysics, condensed-matter physics, particle physics and nuclear physics. So I guess you could say I am a future “scientist” ;)
