The likelihood of an asteroid collided with the moon increased – | Iranian and world news

Although the asteroid is in such a distance that it is not visible from the Earth, it was observed by the James Web site for a short time, according to the . Researchers, led by Andy Rio Kane of the John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, have used this data about where the asteroid of 2YR2 would be on December 5, 2008. According to NASA’s update, the asteroid pathway improved the likelihood of the moon from 4.3 % to 4.9 percent.

According to the NASA statement, according to data, it is natural that the likelihood of collision has also been transformed. This does not change the orbit of the moon.

A former star and researcher at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics Physics Pavan Kumar also believes the moon will be safe. He points out that the treatment of the moon is not a cause of concern; Because any waste caused by the collision that is spread in space, explodes in the atmosphere of the planet if it reaches near Earth.

The asteroid was first tracked on December 5 last year and is estimated to be 2 to 5 meters long or as much as a 2 -story building. This asteroid rapidly caught the attention; Because it was more than one percent of the probability of dealing with Earth, the highest recorded for a large asteroid. Observations in January and February indicated that the risk of collision had risen from 4.3 % to 4.9 percent.
