The massive asteroid – about 90 meters long, is the Big Ben size – currently has one chance in 43 (2.3 %) to hit the Earth in 2032.
This possibility is an enormous increase in the previous 1.3 % chance.
It is estimated that the huge asteroid, 2024 YR4, arrives at our planet on December 22, 2032, the date that its closest approach will present.
While the possibility of an effect of a rare occurrence, the effect of this scale is likely to cause widespread destruction.
Now, a NASA world has predicted where the huge asteroid can collide with the ground within seven years and can flatten the structures for up to two miles in any direction from the impact location.
In this range, if it is possible to reach the Downing Street, a region that extends from the Kings Cross Station to Patricia for Energy will be entrusted, and from the London Bridge to the Hyde Park Center.
The asteroid, which was first discovered by NASA’s Skywatching residents in Chile directly, is similar to the size of the organism that caused the 1908 famous Tunguska event, which saw an explosion on a remote area of ​​Siberia, which dominated 830 square meters of a forest area.
David Ranken, a scientist in the Catalina Sky Survey project in NASA, has revealed a “risk corridor” for the asteroid that shows a large extension of the Earth that can affect.
It extends from South America across the Pacific Ocean to South Asia, the Arabian Sea and Africa.
Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador, through India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, as well as Ethiopia, Sudan and Nigeria are among the countries that may be affected.
However, as it may eventually depend on the Earth’s rotation at the moment of influence.
At the same time, the James Web telescope is used for space to determine the size of the asteroid. The largest and most powerful telescope in the world uses infrared sensors to consider the heat that radiates from the asteroid, which will give scientists more accurate in size.
“Astrologists around the world use strong telescopes to measure the asteroid orbit as much accuracy. But the knowledge of its orbit will not tell us that the asteroid may affect the Earth, and not the importance of influence,” an ESA spokesman (ESA) explained. Daily Mail.
ESA added: “It is extremely important to improve our size for 2024 years: the danger posed by a 40 -meter asteroid is completely different from a 90 -meter asteroid.”
According to To NewsweekThe asteroid is classified in the 3 level on the scale of the risk of influencing the 10 -point Turin, which classifies the level of asteroids with a path near the ground, with 0 is less threatening. Level 3 to 5 asteroids are classified as a yellow threat, which means that they “deserve attention by astronomers” and will be a “close meeting”.
