Asteroid (7482) 1994 PC1 is 1.1 kilometers in diameter — that's two and a half times as tall as the Empire State Building.
The asteroid is considered a near-Earth object that's potentially hazardous , that's because of its massive size and its close orbit around the Sun that brings the asteroid close to Earth.
Radar Observations of Asteroid 4660 Nereus
These images and animation represent NASA radar observations of 4660 Nereus on Dec. 10, 2021, before the asteroid's close approach on Dec. 11, when it came within 2.5 million miles (4 million kilometers) of Earth.
During the asteroid's close approach, an image resolution of about 12.3 feet (3.75 meters) per pixel was possible, revealing surface features such as potential boulders and craters, plus ridges and other topography.
Computer Simulation Could Predict Future Asteroid Impacts - Unite.AI
A researcher at the National Institute of Natural Hazards in China has developed a computer simulation of asteroid collisions, which could be used to predict the result of future asteroid impacts or provide insight by studying the craters of past impacts.
The computer simulation was initially designed to replicate model asteroid strikes performed in a laboratory. However, the model proved to be highly accurate, leading Duoxing Yang to believe it could be used to predict the results of future impacts.
Visit Chicxulub Crater, Which Played A Role In Dino Extinction
On one fateful day some 66 million years ago the dinosaurs - along with some 75% of all plant and animal species on Earth were doomed to extinction. The large asteroid that struct earth impacted just off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.
One may not see any dino bones here, but still, it is a place that every dinosaur enthusiast should visit . If one would like to learn about the dinosaurs, then one can learn a lot more about walking with dinosaurs in several parks around the USA .
New 'flying saucer UFO' rover that MIT scientists want to build could explore asteroids
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are looking at ways to create a new kind of hovering spacecraft that can operate sans air.
The craft will work similarly to how birds and planes operate: levitating using the electric charge available from interplanetary surfaces.
Exotic Forces: Do Tractor Beams Break the Laws of Physics?
Warp drive. Site-to-site transporter technology. A vast network of interstellar wormholes that take us to bountiful alien worlds.
But to guarantee the shortest path to turning at least some of these ideas into genuine scientific breakthroughs, we need to push ideas like general relativity to the breaking point.
Cenotes, sacred to the Mayans, treat Yucatan visitors to cool dips, glimpses into ancient
There's hardly a better way to spend a hot day than swimming in a cenote on Mexico's Yucatan peninsula.
The cool, fresh, 75-degree cenote water is delightful now, when temperatures are in the 80s, and even better when spring and summer days reach 100 or more.
Breaking the Destination Addiction: How the Brightest and the Best Will Survive the Next
In retrospect, we saw a year wherein a raging viral pandemic wrought havoc with the physical and psychological health of our nation, disrupted many aspects of the economy and threatened to derail the aspirations of many of these super-achievers.
It has been said that those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it and those who fail to shape the future will be forced to endure it.
Don't Look Up crisis number leads to a phone sex hotline - JoBlo
In case you wondering what would happen if you dialed the in-movie crisis phone number in Don’t Look Up , it turns out you’d be in for a very titillating surprise.
In the film, two astronomers go on a nationwide press tour after discovering a comet is on its way to destroy Earth. Dr. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) becomes the darling of the press and begins to eclipse the unpredictable Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence). After Dr.
