OnThursday, Jan. 26, a small near-Earth asteroid will have a very close encounter with our planet. Designated 2023 BU, the asteroid will zoom over the southern tip of South America at about 4:27 p.m. PST (7:27 p.m. EST) only 2,200 miles (3,600 kilometers) above the planet’s surface and well within the orbit of geosynchronous satellites.

Introductionto the 2023 PDC impact scenario: A new near-Earth asteroid is detected on January 10, 2023 by an international team using the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) mounted on the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, a program funded by the National Science Foundation. The team was searching in the twilightChicxulubHydrocode Simulation. In this simulation, an asteroid hits a layered target composed of carbonate platform sediments overlying granitic continental crust and the mantle. On impact, a transient cavity opens up, reaching a maximum depth of 32 kilometers 20 seconds after impact. The crater floor then begins to rise.

OverviewAsteroid 99942 Apophis is a near-Earth object (NEO) estimated to be about 1,100 feet (335 meters) across. When it was discovered in 2004, Apophis was identified as one of the most hazardous asteroids that could impact Earth. But that impact assessment changed after astronomers tracked Apophis, and its orbit became better determined. AThesimulator is actually an update to the basic tool already used by astronomers and governments to study how an impact would change Earth, to plan for

Task1: Watch the above video on a large asteroid impact – make some notes. Task 2: Research about Apophis – including the dimensions and likely speed of the asteroid and probability of collision. Use this data to enter into the Impact Earth simulation and predict the damage that this asteroid could do. Task 3: Investigate the TunguskaAsteroids US lab simulates nuclear tech to thwart mass extinction threats. The model provides decision-makers with actionable information to prevent asteroid impact and save lives. Ameya Paleja .
