Earth’s asteroidal asteroid with the moon – | Iranian and world news

The recently discovered asteroid, an asteroid called 2yr, is large enough to lead to the destruction of a city if they hit the ground, according to the . The possibility of this celestial cliff has been reported to be one -in -one. But according to new calculations, the chance of dealing with the ground is much less than the moon.

On February 7, NASA researchers cited the possibility of a 2 -IS asteroid collision on December 5, which increased the chance of such an event from 4.3 % to 4.9 percent.

It is estimated that this dangerous asteroid is 2 meters in diameter and moves at a speed of 4,000 kilometers. Although the 5YR2 is smaller than destroying human civilization, it may destroy a large city and release eight megatons of energy when dealing with the surface of the planet, which is five times more than the energy released by the atomic bomb Japan. Destroyed.

But now the possibility of this space cliff has been hit by the moon. David Rankin Project Engineer Catalina Sky Survey by posting on the Bloca social network announced that the chances of a 2YR 2 -natural landlift were about 4.9 percent.

“Such a collision may lead to the departure of some materials from the moon,” he said in an interview with the New Sininthist magazine. But I doubt this is a big threat.

According to Rankin, according to current estimates of asteroid collision with the moon, it releases the equivalent of the Hiroshima explosion and is likely to be visible from Earth.
