About 900 asteroids are approaching Earth, and they could cause a large crater larger than the city of London if they collide with Earth, with astronomers projecting, using maps of 2,000 paths, the potential to be dangerous over the next thousand years.
Its effect will be disastrous
Nuclear chemist Dr. Tim Gregory explained that the impact of one of these large asteroids colliding with Earth would be catastrophic. As 2,000 hydrogen bombs of energy will be released in the explosion, and a crater with a diameter of 16 km, according to the British Daily Star.
Dr. Gregory added, during his interview with the newspaper: “Although we do not have anything to worry about, but in the near future, humanity must rise to the task.”
Its size could surround the city of London
And the British newspaper revealed, quoting scientists, that the size of these asteroids can easily surround a city the size of London, in addition to that it may cause a cold on the level of the planet, and completely destroy the place where it will collide.
In another context, NASA launched a live broadcast of Mars as part of the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the “Mars Express” mission, which aims to take three-dimensional images of the surface of the Red Planet, and it is a space exploration mission of the European Space Agency.
Experts spent several weeks developing the tools needed to be able to broadcast images from the probe’s camera directly for a full hour, according to the British Daily Mail.
Hours before the live broadcast, James Godfrey, Director of Spacecraft Operations at the European Space Agency, stated that they had never experienced such a live broadcast, and therefore they could not be 100% sure of its success, but he was very optimistic and indicated that usually images are seen. taken from Mars several days after it was taken.
