Two perce is likely that an asteroid called the recely discovered in the year 6, according to the . Although such a probability is very small, astronomers observe the space carefully and closely to find out more details. Probably in the near future, the most powerful space observation tools will also participate in the process.
So far, there has been not much information about asteroids except that it is about 2 to 5 meters wide and about a large building. Such a rock is not even as much as the asteroid of the planet’s killer, which hit Earth 5 million years ago and led to the extinction of dinosaurs. It was estimated that the diameter of that asteroid was about 2 kilometers and the last large example of such a space object to hit Earth.
It should be borne in mind that smaller asteroids can cause damage to the regional level if they hit the earth. For this reason, astronomers need to get information about the ۱۲۲yr1 as soon as possible. Achieving more, such as modifying the space cliff path, may lead to the likelihood of direct collision to zero. But experts have a limited time to observe asteroids because the rock disappears from April. In this regard, they are planning to rotate the powerful eyes of the James Web Space Telescope to this asteroid to understand its size and orbit.
The look of the telescopes toward the asteroid
The Atlas Telescope in Chile discovered the asteroid on December 5, but researchers have used the Magdalena Ridge Observatory in New Mexico, the Danesko Telescope, as well as the VLT Telescope in Chile, which are now more than a distance now. It is 2 million kilometers from the ground and quickly departs from it. According to researchers, the heavenly object will be visible uil early April this year and will disappear as the sun orbit around the sun.
Achieving a knowledge of the exact size of the asteroid helps to estimate whether ۱۳۲۲۷R2 is in the direction of dealing with Earth. One researcher says: If the asteroid dimensions are as valuable as its maximum amou, its collision may cause explosive damage up to 2 kilometers (2 miles) from the site. In these circumstances, of course, the asteroid will hit Earth. It should also be noted that the poteial for damage to this space cliff (about 2 kilometers) is when eering the Earth’s atmosphere.
The UN is in action
However, asteroids in these dimensions collide with Earth every few thousand years and may cause heavy damage to some areas.
According to Sun Magazine, NASA engineer David Rankin has designed a “risk path” in the Catalina Survey project showing where the asteroid may land. The calculations indicate that space cliffs are crossing the top of South America, the Pacific Ocean, Southeast Asia, the Arab Sea and Africa. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador are at risk. Citizens of these couries, of course, should not worry because the possibility of asteroids with the Earth is very low.
According to the BBC, however, UN planetary defense organizations are closely monitored. Any heavenly object with a diameter of more than 2 meters and the possibility of a more than one perce collision with the ground will activate a set of precautions to make such a small threat carefully monitor and take steps to fix it if necessary. The first phase of activating the two -approved Asteroid response groups is the UN -led by the IAWN Iernational Warning Network (IAWN) and the other is the Space Mission Planning Consulting Group led by the European Space Agency.
SMPAG is currely holding meetings to determine the next steps. The group believes that it is still early for emergency action, but it is observing developmes in the threat of asteroid collision with Earth. Another meeting will be held at the end of April or early May to decide on future activities.
