Watch an Asteroid Vaporize Life on Earth in This Scary Simulation

What would happen if (when?) a 310-mile-wide asteroid collides with Earth? That’s the fun question behind the simulation in the video below. And the answer is terrifying. But it turns out you shouldn’t be concerned.

For one, it’s not a scenario that’s going to happen anytime soon. Secondly, there’s nothing you can do about it anyway. All life on Earth would be vaporized within a day as clouds of fire and rock circumnavigated the globe. So don’t worry about it.

NASA recently found planet-killer asteroids hidden by the glare of the Sun. The one that wiped out the dinosaurs was only about six miles in diameter.

Planet Killer' Asteroid That Hides Within Sun's Glare May Hit Earth One Day
A team of astronomers identified three main massive asteroids that had gone unseen in the Sun's brightness. Each of these three asteroids might be a "planet killer," presenting a hazard to Earth. On Monday, the Astronomical Journal released a study revealing three near-Earth asteroids (NEA) detected in Chile that used a Dark Energy Camera. The asteroid, 2022 AP7, is 1.5 kilometers (0.9 miles) wide and has an orbit that might ultimately put it into Earth's range of vision; however, it is uncertain when this will occur.

The asteroids are part of a group located inside the rotations of Earth through Venus, but they are extremely difficult to view since the sun's brightness hides them from telescope studies CNN stated. A multinational team noticed the space pebbles while utilizing the Dark Energy Camera on the Victor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile to escape the sun's glare.

Asteroid that killed the dinosaurs: Likely origin and what we know about the famous space rock
The dimensions of Chicxulub Crater — about 90 miles wide by 12 miles (20 km) deep — give us a rough idea of the impactor's size.

For example, Siraj and Loeb calculated that the incoming object was likely about 4.3 miles (7 km) wide. But that's probably not the number you're most familiar with, because it assumes the impactor was a piece of a long-period comet.

Asteroids in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter orbit more slowly than long-period comets, so they must be bigger to gouge out a hole in the Earth the size of Chicxulub. Folks in the asteroid camp think the impactor was about 6.2 miles (10 km) in diameter.

Asteroid or comet fragment, the space rock was big enough to spur one of Earth's six known mass extinctions. (Humanity is currently living through, and is primarily responsible for, the sixth one(opens in new tab).)

That ain't scary. We have trillions of nukes and that's scary.

Yeah, but are they playing Pink Floyd when they hit???

Dark Side of the Moon is one of the greatest albums ever made. The entire album is a classic.

Is that in Dr. Strangelove movie? I am deaf so I wouldn't know.

First of all we don't have trillions of nukes?!!

How big would a meteor have to be to destroy Earth?

Image result for how powerful is a 300 mile meteor if it hit earth
Ultimately, scientists estimate that an asteroid would have to be about 96 km (60 miles) wide to completely and utterly wipe out life on our planet.

A 300 mile meteor is more powerful than all the nukes on earth too?!!

It's an exaggeration but it illustrates my point. Asteroids just zip by Earth all the time. Nothing has happened for millions of years. Though the Tunguska event is an interesting one. Nobody knows what happened there.

That said, there are many mad men with nukes out there with itchy fingers. That's a whole different animal.

1970s Rock group favored by stoners. Have you ever laid on top of a large speaker and cranked up the bass? Some albums are good for that, some not so much. Pink Floyd is good for it. Lots of bass, very melodic.

I would worry more about Yellowstone when it blows

Get a clue, dumbass. He moved to Mar-a-Lago after stealing a bunch of US nuclear secrets.

Personally, I think the WSEs are going to seek revenge against him for his betrayal of them after 1/6.

It doesn't look that bad to me.

We've been around this long without accomplishing jack shit,
so maybe it's a best-case scenario for us.
 
The horrible truth is that an asteroid could strike Earth at any moment. With all of our technology, less than 2% of the sky is monitored at any given moment. We sometimes have near-misses with asteroids, but they don't really make headlines because people don't really care. Anyone who denies this does so to not frighten the public.

Here's a list of all known near-misses from 2022:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_asteroid_close_approaches_to_Earth_in_2022

All of these asteroids passed closer to us than the distance to the moon. None of these were known to exist more than a week before their passage.

It should also be stated that Earth is hit dozens of times annually by small asteroids.
