What would happen if a devastating asteroid hit your hometown or state? Thanks to a new web app, you can find out who, or what, would survive.
First you'll choose what type of asteroid will hit Earth, choosing from one made of stone, iron, carbon, gold or comet.
This Asteroid Impact Simulator Lets You Destroy the World
Once you've programmed the asteroid and launched it at your desired target, Asteroid Simulator will walk you through the devastation. First, it'll show you the width and depth of the crater, the number of people vaporized by the impact, and how much energy was released.

Newly Discovered Asteroid Is a Weird 'Mini Moon' on a 200-Year Visit to Earth - CNET
Asteroid 2022 YG, as it has initially been cataloged, looks to be between 52 and 98 feet (16 to 30 meters) in diameter. Early computer models of its orbit show that it takes about a year to circle Earth once and that it has been doing so since sometime around 1961.
Visualizations of the orbital data for 2022 YG show it taking an odd path around our planet, stretching into an elongated ellipse in one direction, then migrating back to a more circular orbit and stretching out again in the other direction before the whole cycle repeats itself.
An Asteroid Is Passing Earth Today, so Scientists Are Shooting It With Radio Waves
A group of researchers is attempting to bounce radio signals off a 500-foot-wide asteroid during its close flyby of Earth on Tuesday.
The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is aiming its antennas at asteroid 2010 XC15, a space rock that's categorized as a near- Earth potentially hazardous asteroid.
NASA makes asteroid defense a priority, moving its NEO surveyor mission into the development phase
Typically, their signals are just background noise against the overwhelming signal from the sun. But NEO Surveyor will be able to detect individual asteroid heat signatures, allowing it to isolate potentially dangerous asteroids using this novel technique.
But, as with all bureaucracies, NASA has budgetary difficulties, and NEO Surveyor was no exception. The agency originally canceled NEO Surveyor's budget for the fiscal years 2022 and 2023, forcing project scientists and engineers to move on to other projects for their salaries.
Dinosaurs were in their prime, not in decline, when fateful asteroid hit - WKBT
Paleontologists agree that a massive asteroid strike triggered the end of the dinosaurs, but a debate has persisted over the reptiles' overall state at the time of the fateful collision.
Were non-avian dinosaurs already in decline, and the asteroid just sped up their trudge toward extinction? Or were they thriving in the late Cretaceous, only to be snuffed out by an ill-timed space rock?
Who Watches for Asteroids Over the Holidays? - The Atlantic
If an asteroid were to gain sentience and set a course for Earth, might it pick a time like the holidays in order to catch the humans off guard? Well, that's not going to work: Someone is monitoring space for incoming objects, holidays or not.
