Those are rookie numbers. Gotta pump those numbers up.
I’m team asteroid.
Panic?
I’m crossing my fingers for the wellbeing of the universe. We’re awful.
Worry not, for we are insignificant to the universe.
That’s 0.9% more than the last time I checked. I know those are still really low odds, but we can hope…
don’t worry, it’ll just be like a small nuke, not a planet killer… (until they update the size estimates)
If we are able to nudge an asteroid, would an asteroid of this size nudge the earth?
Technically the solar system is a multi-body system, and everything nudges everything else, but the mass of the earth is far greater than the mass of the asteroid, to the point that it doesn’t matter.
Sigh. Why can’t it be 109%
This place sucks.
Is there any way to speed this up
I’ll only panic if it misses
Better late than never I guess.
I’m not even joking. I want this asteroid to hit our planet and make us all go the way of the dinos.
Yes, please!
Okay so how big is this meteor then
Listed in the article:
Scientists estimate that 2024 YR4 is between 130 to 300 feet (40 and 90 meters) wide
Fuck, I was hoping for a 10-15 km wide one.
How many giraffes is it tho
It’s around 1000 millimeteors
130 - 400 meters
Exactly one meteor wide. Do you need the height as well?
Is it meteoric?
