Which countries and regions can affect the Asteroid 2024 YR4?

Asteroid 2024 YR4, About 40-100 meters of measurements will be very close to the earth in December 2032 and can even hit the planet. Because the size, speed and the opportunity to influence, the Internet gave him the nickname “destroying the city”.

Large space agencies like European Space AgencyThis risk figure will be renewed by 2024 YR4’s 2 percent chance to be born. Although more likely asteroid Sites that may be missed for the ground, which can be affected by the collision.

The destructive potential of the 2024 YR4 depends on its composition, speed and mass. Since the asteroid is still far away, these features can only be estimated, and therefore the results of the strike taste some inaccurate forecasts at this stage. Currently, astronomers will equal 2024 tons of TNT, or the capacity of the atomic bomb, and 500 times the hiroshima will create 500 times 500 times a day or an average weather explosion. This explosion affects a radius of about 50 kilometers around the area of ​​influence.

For the location of the collision, some experts, such as an engineer David Rankin NASA The Catalina Sky Query Project has sketched the “Risk Corridor” sketch. According to the current path of asteroid, if the 2 percent probability is real, there should be astetoid, South America, Southern Asia, Southern Asia, Sea and African area. Countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Sudan, Nigeria, Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador.

Asteroids and potentially measured the threat caused by comets that can hit the ground 11-Pointy Torino scale: The higher the score is more likely to affect the location of the travel space object and the risk of destroying a large amount. 2024 YR4 Asteroid is at level 3, ie large enough and is close enough that it can be carefully tracked. However, most international organizations are convinced that the risk level will be reduced to zero when the asteroid trajectory becomes clearer. The probability of impact was 1.2 percent. Later, it was later adjusted to 2.3 percent without reducing the risk of the latest assessment.

This is not the first time that such a warning was removed, 2024 YR4, a risky space should be monitored. Asteroid ApophisIt is higher in 2004, sometimes higher than 2024 years old and above 2024 with the probability of both Torino scale and collision. Shortly after being found, it was given a chance to 2.7 percent to hit the ground. However, after a few months and better observations, scientists were made to more real values. Although it is now very close to the ground in 2029, the chances of collision are zero.

In response to 2024 YR4, the UN activated an emergency protocol for the protection of the planet. During the 3 levels of asteroid at 3 levels of Torino, this is limited to continuous monitoring to understand the actions of asteroid.

Measures are being developed to protect the earth from asteroids to destructive potential. These are sent to space for clashes by clashes by clashes by clashes by clashes with clashes with clashes with clashes with clashes by clashes with their places to clash to clashes with astring of missiles. NASA’s 2023 dart mission The launch of such strikes and this method proved that they were able to act in a harmless asteroid in Dimorphos.
