According to NASA official reports, the surface of the moon a relatively large asteroid crashed. His blow caused an explosion power of the order of ten modern cruise missiles, spawning the brightest flash that could be observed from Earth to the naked eye.
Of course, on the scale of space, the dimensions of this asteroid tiny, the object weighed no more than forty kilograms, however he gave rise to a fourth-magnitude flash. For comparison, we can say that such a “pebble”, falling to the surface of our planet, would leave funnel 20 meters deep and created a destruction zone comparable with a powerful nuclear explosion, from which tens of thousands could die people (everything would depend on where this “gift” would go Of the universe).
Of course, the Earth, unlike the Moon, is protected by the atmosphere, and such a tiny asteroid entering it would almost burn out without reaching surface, however, a large space can throw us and more solid “surprise”.
It is no coincidence that over the past eight years, scientists have carefully watching the moon, reflecting this on NASA’s Science.com website. So for the entire existence of this surveillance program today the asteroid that fell on Selena became the largest. Flash from him surpassed all others ten times, why it could be observed even without a telescope.
NASA management warns that such, and even more serious danger has long hung over the Earth. Now U.S. aerospace agency teaches first phase with ESA the large DART project on space “asteroid extermination” rushing towards our planet.
How Double Asteroid Redirection Test Provides safety of the blue planet we don’t know many independent researchers believe that there is more powerful protection on Earth from the comic “gifts” that the aliens established perhaps thousands of years ago. Thanks to her and only her, they say these scientists, our planet, as they say, escaped with little blood during the time of the Tunguska and Chelyabinsk asteroid bombings, the consequences of which could be much more catastrophic for people.
However, additional protection never hurts, on hope aliens, but don’t be sick …
