RE: Effect of Potentially Hazardous Asteroids on Earth

in Project HOPE • 6 years ago

Dear @gbenga

I cannot express how you surprissed me with this publication. Love it!

The moment when I asked you about potential damage being done by meteor (size of soccer field) I didn't realize that not only size matters. But also speed of movement. Silly me.

astronomers in NASA didn’t notice it until about 24 hours to its near collision.

Do you believe that? I would suggest that even if they knew about it coming - they had to stay silent.

ps. I wonder sometimes how earth would potentially look like if atmosfere would (for some reason) dissapear. Any clue? Assuming that all those "space rocks" wouldnt burn themself while falling down.

Yours, Piotr

    Thanks a lot for reading my post. I hope i was able to give a good answer to the question previously asked.

    Do you believe that? I would suggest that even if they knew about it coming - they had to stay silent.

    There are possibilities that they might have seen it but yet kept quiet, we can trust anything that has a government backing. Also, i do not think it was a good idea telling the world 24 hours before the near collision as it caused panic.

    wonder sometimes how earth would potentially look like if atmosfere would (for some reason) dissapear. Any clue? Assuming that all those "space rocks" wouldnt burn themself while falling down.

    Let's be grateful we have the atmosphere, gravitational waves and all other things serving as a protection.
