      From: m@m.com              Hello...                     More philosophy about the Potentially Hazardous Asteroids..              About the Potentially Hazardous Asteroids: The largest, most devastating       impacts (like that which helped to kill the dinosaurs 65 million years       ago) are the rarest. But smaller, more frequent collisions also pose a       marked risk. This is why a New space telescope could spot potentially       hazardous asteroids heading for Earth, since in 2013, an asteroid       entered Earth's atmosphere over Chelyabinsk, Russia. It exploded in the       air, releasing 20 to 30 times more energy than that of the first atomic       bombs, generating brightness greater than the sun, exuding heat,       damaging more than 7,000 buildings and injuring more than 1,000 people.       The shock wave broke windows 58 miles away. It went undetected because       the asteroid came from the same direction and path as the sun.       These meteorites landed on Earth after a 22-million-year voyage       These meteorites landed on Earth after a 22-million-year voyage       The NEO Surveyor will use infrared sensors that can help astronomers       find these objects -- even ones that may approach Earth during the day       from the direction of the sun. This isn't something that's possible       using ground-based observatories.              Read more here:              https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/30/world/international-asteroid-day-       021-nasa-telescope-scn/index.html                     Thank you,       Amine Moulay Ramdane.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
