Asteroid can mankind destroy like dinosaurs, but scientists are engaged in plan to the world to save

Science & Planet is A leading American research centre is engaged in the design of a rocket that our earth needs to protect against a potential and devastating impact of an asteroid. The Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) of the Johns Hopkins University about two years of a first test. It is the first major mission of the space agency NASA, which is not the purpose of the space to explore, but to us it was not possible to protect.

it is Generally accepted that the best-known and most far-reaching impact of an asteroid 65 million years ago took place in the Gulf of Mexico and was responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs. It was going to be an asteroid of 8 to 10 kilometers in diameter. “We have all the asteroids of that size in our neighborhood, meanwhile, are localized and do not be afraid,” assures Paul Chodas of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) of NASA at the California Institute of Technology. But smaller asteroids can also cause considerable damage.

“Even an asteroid of 1 km diameter can global destruction cause if he is in the wrong place will do. The are actually small asteroids that are most at risk,” said the scientist in the American newspaper The Washington Post. the


less than 100 years ago, it was already a time almost price. On 30 June 1908 exploded a meteor over a remote area in Siberia, and who destroyed 1,200 square miles of forest. According to research, would the fireball be as powerful as 185 times the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, and would have the air heated to a temperature of nearly 50,000 degrees. Was the meteor 3 hours later, turned, than he had by the rotation of the earth, the Russian capital city of Moscow completely from the card swipe. And that would be the history of the 20th century completely rewritten. (read on below)
