NASA & Elon Musk Terrifying New Asteroid Warning Changes Everything

 in this topic we're going to talk about    elon musk and nasa's terrifying new    asteroid warning that changes everything Elon musk is taking steps to    ensure mankind survives such a disaster    nasa on the other hand has been thinking    about the same issue and has even issued    a warning about a probable cosmic    collision with an asteroid to avoid a    situation like this darts is a system    that nasa is developing what exactly are    darts how will nasa utilize it to    prevent asteroids from colliding with    the earth join us as we explore how    nasa's chief issues a dire warning about    an asteroid crashing towards the earth    asteroids are a massive celestial    objects that have been glorified in    movies for rocking havoc on the earth is    it true however that asteroids can    strike the earth    it's vital to understand a few things    about asteroids before answering the    question    asteroids are also known as planetides    or minor    a rocky objects orbiting the sun that    are too tiny to be turned planets there    are millions of asteroids ranging in    size from a few feet to hundreds of    miles wide with mass less than the    earth's moon asteroids are mostly found    in three areas of the solar system the    majority of the asteroids form a large    ring between the mars and the juventus    orbits more than 200 asteroids larger    than 60 months 100 kilometers in    diameter are found in this belt    scientists believe that the asteroid's    belt includes between 1 and 1 000    however not every asteroid in the main    belt is an asteroid for example there is    a sirius that was formally assumed to be    an asteroid but was later shown to be to    our planets    in the last decade scientists have    discovered a new kind of comets known as    man belt comets which are small stony    bodies with tails some of the tails    emerge when things collide with    asteroids or asteroids disintegrate it    may be comets crashing into the sky    or ancient objects that date big to the    formation of our solar system 4.6    billion years ago   

the creation of jupiter prevented any    planetary bodies from forming in the gap    between the mars and the jupiter early    on leading the small objects that were    present to smash and disintegrate into    the asteroid picture we see today    almost all the asteroids are evenly    shaped with a few of the largest such as    ceres that are frequently pitted or    formed or roughly spherical westa for    example has a massive crater with a    diameter of 285 miles 460 kilometers    they're rotated as asteroid in the    elliptical orbit around the sun    sometimes tumbling extremely haphazardly    a small companion moon is known to exist    on more than 150 asteroids some even    have two moons binary a double asteroids    as well as triple asteroid systems exist    in which two asteroids of nearly    identical size orbit each other    near earth asteroids or any other yeast    orbits the sun at a similar distance to    earth these objects are divided into    subcategories based on how the orbits of    asteroids relate to the values for    example a few asteroids have orbits that    close the earth's roots but only go    between earth and mars although the    apollo asteroids have earth-crossing    orbits they spend the majority of their    time outside of the planet's path    certain near-earth asteroids are also    classified as potentially hazardous    asteroids or pha by astronomers these    rocks which are larger than 500 feet or    140 meters across are within 4.65    million miles of the earth's orbit or    7.48 million kilometers over 27 000    near-earth 

asteroids have been found by    scientists only about 10 000 of them    have diameters more than 500 feet so do    we really stand a chance of colliding    with an asteroid yes is the quick answer    asteroids and comics have been crashing    into earth since its formation some 4.5    billion years ago a quarter mile wide    asteroid has the potential to cause a    global catastrophe according to    researchers such an impact would rise    enough dust into the sky to effectively    produce a nuclear winter which would    seriously damage agriculture around the    planet smaller asteroids have the    potential to destroy cities or cause    destructive tsunamis space pebbles that    are less than 82 feet 25 meters in    diameter will very certainly burn up    when they enter the sandman sphere an    asteroid slammed into the atmosphere    over chelyabinsk russia in 2013 causing    a shock wave that injured 1200 people    when it hit the earth's atmosphere the    space rocket was estimated to be 65 to    20 meters broad the question is how can    we defend the world against a battle    asteroid attack in the future or are we    impotent and will we have to wait and    see what harm and asteroid on a crash    trajectory with the earth causes elon    musk has discovered a way to turn mars    into a habitable planet he believes that    a portion of the humanity should    relocate to mars in the event of    asteroid collision that was of humanity    on earth he believes that a population    of one million people on mars might be    self-sustaining he is even constructing    a spacecraft to transport his recruits    to mars musk's idea however necessitates    billions of dollars in significant    technological improvements in order to    be realized musk's concept entails    moving out of the way of an impending    asteroid as the asteroid approaches    nasa's solution takes the fight to it    data or double asteroid redirection test    is the solution what is the dod's    procedure it's straightforward at least    on paper and will take place in the last    september early october 2020 astronomers    will quantify that change assessing the    success of the kinetic impact method of    asteroid deflection the 1 to 210 pound    or 550 kilo dart to spacecraft will    collide into a minor asteroid called dye    amorphous shifting the space rock's    orbits around its larger partner demis    the earth is in the crosshairs of a    method nasa hopes to use against a rock    in the future because minor nudges can    add up to a lot changes later this    strategy works best when employed in    preparation    our robot data launched from the    wendenberg space force base in    california late november 24 as the first    base mission to test this or any other    asteroid deflection technology    dart mission team members have checked    out the spacecraft's many systems    including his principal scientific    equipment a camera dubbed draco or demus    research into asteroid camera for    optical navigation while writing his    spacex falcon non-rocket 

you will just    have to put up with nasa's acronyms data    is modestly sized spacecraft the    spacecraft's core is a box that's barely    a meter broad on all sides with two roll    out solar areas that give it a width of    roughly 12 meters or 40 feet    dart's electric propulsion technology    creates a steady stream of charged ions    to provide a modest but constant push    the dart spacecraft is equipped with a    nasa xenon thruster commercial next    generation engine which was developed by    the agency's glenn research center in    collaboration with the aerojekt    rocketdyne    nexi is a solar powered iron propulsion    technology that could be used in    spacecraft in the future the probe    employs 12 hydrazine thrusters to make    its way toward the dynamos dye amorphous    pier not a darts primary propulsion    system nexi on the other hand will    receive a key during the space test    throughout the mission to achieve the    speed needed to exit the orbit the    spacecraft will cycle around the earth    many times using its electric propulsion    it will then go to dyneema perhaps    passing by another asteroid known as    2001 cb21 the action will pick up    significantly along the way draco will    capture the first imagery they did him    at them as dark approaches its goal    photos taken 30 days before impact will    add the probe in fine turning its roots    near die amorphous and a tiny italian    spacecraft called leecher cube will be    launched 10 days before the impact to    which paths die in martha shortly after    the crash to investigate its immediate    consequences given that dart will    collide into amorphous at around 15 000    miles per hour 24 000 kilometers per    hour such consequences could be    extremely dramatic the impact will occur    approximately 6.8 million miles or 11    million kilometers from earth as it    happened in my system on their    elliptical course around the sun the two    asteroids come closest to our planet    that's not a coincidence after the    collision astronomers can perform better    telescopic studies of the damage because    of the timing the last time it came this    near to earth without missing was in    2003 it will happen again in 2016. ddm    and time office monitoring will continue    in the future and not just from the fr    in a few years European space agency    wants to deploy hira a spacecraft that    will travel to the dynamic system to    examine the damage dart caused dot is    particularly well suited to targets that    did submerge and die amorphous they are    both little with dimmest measuring 780    meters half a mile and amorphous    measuring only 160 meters 525 feet but    they pass in front of one another    earth's perspective    they appear to optical ground-based    telescopes as a single point of light   

that varies in brightness    dimmers there are amorphous circles and    the interval between those fluctuations    will change once the dart hit    furthermore Dyneema and die amorphous    do not get close enough to the dark to    accidentally send them hurtling into our    world the department of defense    initiative will cost    324.5 million dollars the development of    the spacecraft costs 308 million dollars    SpaceX will be paid 68.8 million dollars    for launch services with 16.5 million    dollars set aside for operations and    data analysis at a speed of 6.6    kilometers per second data will collide    with a dimorphous dumb office's orbital    period around dimmest should weary from    11.9 to 11.8 hours a difference of about    4.2 minutes this will bring demas and    dimorphism closer together what do you    think about this article do let us know    down in the comment section below
