KOMPAS.com – A video upload about asteroid 2021 PDC is said to hit the Earth viral on social media TikTok.
The upload’s narrative states that Indonesia is the safest place from the asteroid attack.
The video was uploaded by a akun TikTok.
The video, in its narrative, informs that an asteroid 2021 PDC measuring 35 meters to 700 meters will hit Earth, causing Europe, North America and parts of Africa to be affected.

Meanwhile, Indonesia is a safe area and will be invaded by millions of refugees from Europe, North America and parts of Africa.
“Indonesia will be invaded by millions of refugees from Europe, North America and parts of Africa in connection with the asteroid explosion. Space experts found the 2021 PDC asteroid which is estimated to hit the earth and Indonesia is the safest area.
Space experts will discuss the impact of the 2021 PDC asteroid collision with Earth at a planetary defense conference April 26-30 in Wiena, Austria.
Space experts are temporarily predicting the impact of the 2021 PDC asteroid collision with the earth on October 20, 2021. This natural event will trigger a major refugee crisis from the population of Europe, North America and parts of Africa to Indonesia.
At the planet defense conference the experts also prepared the best scenario to save Earth’s inhabitants. Experts say the asteroid that will hit Earth is between 35 m and 700 m in size.
The position of the asteroid is very close and is heading directly to earth. If the asteroid is in a collision trajectory the probability will continue to increase. Over time scientists will be able to determine where an asteroid might strike.
The main danger is jet air causing an excess explosion which may reach unavoidable levels.
One of the groups involved in the conference is the planetary society, which is an organization that works with the scientific community and decision-makers with the sole goal of reducing the risk of the Earth being hit by an asteroid or comet., ”Said the narrative fragment in the video.
Until Tuesday (20/4/2021) afternoon, the upload had been liked more than 273 thousand times, received more than 17,000 comments, and was re-shared more than 33,000 times.
Various comments appeared in response to the information in the video.
Is it true that the information conveyed in the video?
Explanation EIGHT
When confirmed, Astronomers who are also Associate Researchers Eight, Dr. Rhorom Priyatikanto, explained, asteroid PDC 2021 is a fictional asteroid.
He emphasized that the asteroid does not really exist.
“Asteroid discussed in the video is a fictional asteroid with characteristics and an engineered orbit in order to exercise preparedness for space catastrophes, “said Rhorom when contacted. Kompas.com, Tuesday (20/4/2021).

The fictional asteroid is part of a simulation at the Planetary Defense Conference in Vienna, Austria, which will be held on April 26-30, 2021.
The United Nations was one of the initiators of the conference.
“One of the agendas is the Planetary Defense Conference Exercise with the asteroid 2021 PDC case. Experts and decision makers are trained in taking tactical steps: observation / monitoring follow-up to planning an asteroid deflection mission, “said Rhorom.
He said the meeting was held so that there is a better understanding of the asteroid’s trajectory and size so that predictions of the impact and area of impact of space disasters can be made.
Meanwhile, Andi Pangerang Hasanudin, Researcher at the Lapan Space Science Center also said that the information about the 2021 PDC asteroid is a simulation.
“All simulations” said when contacted Kompas.com separately, Tuesday (20/4/2021).
Launch page JPL NASA, In the Exercise of the Planet Defense Conference in 2021 in Vienna, Austria, the scenario is that an asteroid will be found on April 19, 2021 with an apparent magnitude of 21.5 and confirmed the next day.
In the scenario prepared, the ssteroid is called the asteroid “2021 PDC”.
The naming itself uses a three letter marker which is something that would never be done for a real or real asteroid.
Its purpose is as a marker emphasizing that it is only a fictional asteroid.
In the simulation, the asteroid will approach Earth after three weeks of discovery.
In the simulation, it was stated that several regions such as Australia and Indonesia would survive the asteroid.
