MOST DANGEROUS ASTEROID DETECTED || BENNU

Large objects do approach our planets
now and then
for example on the 14th of november 2020
asteroid 2020 vt4
With a diameter
measuring about 10 meters
past our earth at a distance of 383
kilometers from the surface.

that is below the international space
station and most satellites
even though known potential threats are
monitored by scientists at all times

the problem is that most asteroids are
rather dark objects
whose dimensions are quite modest by
space standards

which makes them hard to detect
however an explosion caused by an impact of a
celestial body with a diameter of just
10 meters
would be tantamount to the atomic
bombing of hiroshima

it may not leave any radioactive waste
but a blast this powerful would wipe a
little town right off The face of the earth

an asteroid with a diameter
Measuring 50 meters
that is as big as a modern
multi-story building would unleash
A power of several dozen kilotons
on impact
which would be enough to raise an entire
city almost to the ground
if an asteroid this large were to fall
into an ocean
it would cause a tsunami reaching up to
10 meters.
