Astrophysicist warns asteroid impact could be imminent. A leading astrophysicist has warned the next asteroid strike is just a matter of time as thousands of potentially threatening objects circle Earth. Dr Alan Fitzsimmons has said it is a case of when an asteroid collision will happen, rather than if it will happen, with more asteroids being discovered every day. An unexpected strike in today's world could easily destroy a major city and a larger one could potentially wipe out humanity, the expert warned.

TUNGUSKA MYSTERYDr Alan Fitzsimmons is highlighting the threat for Asteroid Day, a global event next Friday. On that day in 1. Tunguska region of Siberia, flattening trees nearly 3. The blast is thought to have been produced by a comet or asteroid hurtling through Earth's atmosphere at over 3. Hiroshima bombs as pressure and heat rapidly increased. Eighty million trees had been laid flat in the blast, and the charred carcasses of reindeer were found by the hundreds. The object likely entered the atmosphere at 9- 1.

“We run these little exercises every so often,” Dr. Michael Kelley, an astronomer at NASA’s Planetary Science Division, told Gizmodo. “We’ve known that this. BibMe Free Bibliography & Citation Maker - MLA, APA, Chicago, Harvard.

Earth. But, with no impact crater and little evidence of such an object ever found, scientists remain perplexed as to what truly caused the event in which 'the sky was split in two'. The possibility of an asteroid explosion was first proposed in 1. Watch Holiday Miracle Online Free HD. Leonid Kulik, 2. 0 years after the event.

Others suggested the space- object may instead have been a comet, made up of ice rather than rock, meaning it would have evaporated as it entered Earth's atmosphere.'It is important to know that scientists and engineers have made great strides in detecting Near- Earth Asteroids and understanding the threat posed by them', said Dr Fitzsimmons from Queen’s University Belfast Astrophysics Research Centre.'Over 1,8. Astronomers find Near- Earth Asteroids every day and most are harmless.''But it is still possible the next Tunguska would take us by surprise, and although we are much better at finding larger asteroids, that does us no good if we are not prepared to do something about them', he said. Joined by scientist Brian Cox and astronauts such as Apollo 9 astronaut Rusty Schweickart and International Space Station astronaut Nicole Stott, Dr Fitzsimmons is highlighting the threat for Asteroid Day, a global event next Friday. On that day in 1. Tunguska in Siberia and devastated 8. The blast is thought to have been produced by a comet or asteroid hurtling through Earth's atmosphere at over 3.

Hiroshima bombs as pressure and heat rapidly increased. The object likely entered the atmosphere at 9- 1. Earth. In January 2. Earth at a distance half that of the Moon. This one- mile- wide Metero Crater in Arizona was caused by a small 5.

An unexpected strike in today's world could easily destroy a major city, Dr Alan Fitzsimmons said. And experts have previously warned that humans are not prepared for an asteroid impact and, should one head for Earth, there's not much we can do about it. Asteroids are hunks of rocky space debris, left over from the creation of the planets, which whizz around our solar system, orbiting the sun. From time to time they cross paths with us and, while impacts on the scale of the infamous 6. Dr Fitzsimmons (pictured) from Queen’s University Belfast Astrophysics Research Centre said it is a case of when an asteroid collision will happen, rather than if it will happen.

With energy greater than 1. Hiroshima bombs, the impact shock would flatten everything within a 1. Dust and debris would cause an 'impact winter' and most living things would perish. Alternatively, an ocean strike would trigger monumental tsunamis, obliterate entire coastlines and inject seawater into the atmosphere, destroying huge swathes of the ozone layer and exposing survivors to devastating levels of UV radiation. Dr Joseph Nuth, is a researcher at Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Centre in Maryland, and proposed the idea. Speaking in December 2.

The biggest problem, basically, is there's not a hell of a lot we can do about it at the moment.''They are the extinction- level events, things like dinosaur killers, they're 5. You could say, of course, we're due, but it's a random course at that point.'.

Watch ATLAS the Robot Autonomously Fall Off a Stage. ATLAS is an incredible machine. There’s no way around that. First unveiled in 2. This level of sophistication is exactly why it’s so damn funny when ATLAS fucks up.

Boston Dynamics, the company that builds this incredible robot, recently gave a presentation at the Congress of Future Science and Technology Leaders. Watch Noel Online. It was a pretty normal dog- and- pony show for the company. ATLAS walked around the stage autonomously, while a human guided Spot. Mini the dogbot across the stage with a controller.

Everything was going great until it came time for ATLAS to exit the stage. Even though the robot had successfully pulled off the maneuver in rehearsal, ATLAS really ate it during the actual performance. By the looks of it, ATLAS caught his foot on a stage light and just went ass over elbows through the back curtain. But again, how can we be mad at ATLAS? This robot is a true feat of human engineering and ingenuity.

Armies of them might even fight wars for us one day. Watch House Of Games Putlocker#. Which brings us back to that Terminator reference. We’re probably doomed to die at the feet of ATLAS in the inevitable robot uprising, so we might as well get our yuks in now.[TNW].
