derpmonster 22,412 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I haven't looked yet but likely not. Asteroids have come close to or impacted Earth multiple times. Most of the times nothing big happens. Don't worry. Miss Corona is likely to be the bigger issue. To be fair, one time asteroids triggered a mass extinction (dinosaurs) but that's extremely unlikely. The biggest in the group is 1200ft wide. In normal people units, that's 300 metres. That can obviously cause damage if it hits the surface but it most likely won't meet the ground It'll just crash through the atmosphere where it can't hurt us. We're far from the asteroids now. Edit: CNEOS estimated that this asteroid would approach Earth on March 25 at 12:02 pm EDT. During this time, it will be about 0.02202 astronomical units or around 2 million miles from the planet’s center. We'll be ok Check out iTunes data & graphs at CHARTPOP.live Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSUNAMI 21,297 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I'm scared to open threads named like these. Seriously. My home land has corona, earthquakes, the Island of Hvar is burning and is also snowing when people are outside looking for shelter due to the earthquakes.

TheSlash 14,539 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Even if these 300m asteroids exist, you have to consider the atmosphere with an average height of 12km (~7.5mi) that's protecting us. Even if such an asteroid is hitting is, it is most likely that - due to friction - roughly 50% of its initial mass will hit the ground in one piece Ew, David!
