Software to predict the harmful effects of meteors

As more and more news of asteroids abruptly sweeping across the Earth, the question always haunts the minds of many people today about what cities will fall into when they are assassinated. sculpt.

>>>Asteroids are about to fly through the earth

To answer this question, experts from the National Institute of Science (NSF) and the US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have announced the program of Assassin Asteroids.

Using the Google Earth plugin, the interactive calculation application allows users to choose the type of attack object, comets or asteroids, as well as size (small, medium, large).

According to Space.com, a small asteroid has a school bus size, about 2.4 meters across and has an iron structure.

To fit into the medium class, asteroids must be three times the size of a football field, about 329m, while asteroids must be 1.931m wide, moving at a speed of 20km / sec.

As for comets, small comets following the model are 109 meters across and travel at 50km / sec, medium size 50km across, also moving at 50km / sec, and the big comet must reach 9,656m.

Users can choose any 'killer' , before choosing one of the 15 hypothetical targets to know the level of human and economic damage in case of bad luck.

For example, if a large comet dashes into New York, urban areas along the east coast of the US will be destroyed, while people in Illinois and Ottawa in Canada will have first-degree burns (burns in horn layer).
