#Impact probability of 2024 YR4 #Asteroid continues to rise, now at 2.4% according #CNEOS: https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/sentry/details.html#?des=2024%20YR4

Hay alguno que pasa más cerca, alguno que lo hace más cerca de la nochebuena, alguno más pequeño y algún otro más gordito... Basta con mirar la lista que se actualiza en cada momento para ver que el dudoso título de "asteroide de navidad que rozará la Tierra" está disputado. Por ejemplo en #CNEOS
https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/ca/

Y por estas cosas las noticias astronómicas nunca deben ser como las que bajo tal epígrafe aparecen en medios, mensajes de influencers con necesidad de impacto y eso.

NASA Asteroid Experts Create Hypothetical Impact Scenario for Exercise - NASA

The fifth Planetary Defense Interagency Tabletop Exercise focused on an asteroid impact scenario designed by NASA JPL’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies.

…when Ryan Weed ran the sample of shards through the X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzer, the most likely alloy it flagged is X5 steel with titanium, which is also known as shock-resisting steel…consistent with the fact that IM1 was tougher in material strength than all other 272 meteors in the #CNEOS catalog of #NASA…shape of the recovered shards is nearly flat—as if they were surface layers broken off from a technological object which experienced extreme material stress.

NASA’s Planetary Radar Captures Detailed View of Oblong Asteroid

One of the most elongated asteroids ever imaged by planetary radar was closely tracked by the agency’s Deep Space Network.

An incredible achievement by the planetary defense community! #2022WJ1 was a tiny asteroid on a collision course with Earth. But astronomers saw it coming, and NASA’s Scout impact hazard assessment system calculated where it would hit: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-program-predicted-impact-of-small-asteroid-over-ontario-canada #CNEOS #PDCO #NASA #Scout #PlanetaryDefense
