#LSST performs very well for large impactors ☄️, discovering about 79.7% of objects larger than 140 m before impact. Only 50.3% of 50–140 m impactors, 26.8% of 20–50 m impactors, and 10.5% of 10–20 m impactors are discovered 🔭 at all. About 60% of large impactors fail to reach a one-year warning […]

'Invisible' asteroids near Venus may threaten Earth in the future An international study led by researchers at São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Brazil has identified a little-known but potentially significant threat: Asteroids that share Venus's orbit and may completely escape current observational campaigns because of their position in the sky. These objects have not yet been observed, but they could strike Earth within a few thousand years. Their impacts could devastate large cities.

Hidden asteroids sharing Venus’s orbit could threaten Earth! ☄️ Unseen & potentially devastating, they lurk in the sky… a cosmic mystery! ✨ #AsteroidThreat

Invisible asteroids co-orbiting with Venus pose a future threat, as they might evade detection and potentially impact Earth, risking catastrophic damage. 🌍🔭 Link: https://tinyurl.com/262mqqjz #AsteroidThreat #SpaceSafety #EnvironmentalProtection

When comparing the likelihood of #asteroid ☄️ events to other possible events, some of the results might be surprising. For example, the chance of a >140 meter asteroid hitting 💥 Earth is more likely than an individual being struck by #lightning ⚡ in their lifetime […]
