Chapter 801 Leading the coquettish again... once again
"Asteroid 4179, also known as "Tutatis", is the largest near-Earth asteroid known to mankind and poses a great threat to the earth."

"Near-Earth asteroid "Tutatis" has not been able to reassure astronomers. At present, astronomers around the world have discovered hundreds of thousands of asteroids, of which there are more than 1 near-Earth asteroids. "Tutatis" It is the largest one."

"It has a length of 4.46 kilometers and a width of 2.4 kilometers. It moves around the sun in an elliptical orbit. Basically, it will approach the earth once every 4 years. Once the huge Tutatis hits the earth, it will have a serious impact on the earth. Earth is devastated."

"Because scientists speculate that the reason for the extinction of dinosaurs is that the earth was hit by an asteroid twice the diameter of Toutatis. If this asteroid hits the earth, then the earth is also estimated to be a pill."

I don’t know when this kind of news began to circulate on the Internet. Maybe there was such news after it was discovered, and with more and more accurate detections of it, more and more detectors passed by it, Its information became more and more comprehensive, and more and more information was circulated later.

It was only in mid-March that this information flow began to have problems, and it suddenly began to increase, and it was still dominated by information from the United States, or the information sent by the famous American Space Agency.

Although it is the day when "Tutatis" and the earth "pass by" once every four years, Arclight Aerospace has calculated its exact orbit, and it will be two earth-moon distances away from the earth Skimming, and not crashing into the earth.

Now Arclight Aerospace is an authority in the earth's aerospace industry, and one of the well-known ones is accurate tracking data. It has said that it will not hit the earth, so there must be no problem.

It's all so obvious, why did the United States start to promote harm again?What's the use?

No matter how powerful it is, it won't be able to hit the earth, so why worry about it?

It's just that before people wondered for a long time, the US side made its debut.

A heavyweight documentary was released, and with the cooperation of the US network power, it quickly spread around the world.

Several engineers and astronomers who have made great achievements in the international astronomy field spoke in the documentary one after another, explaining why the United States did this.

"...Since 1992, "Tutatis" has quietly approached the earth every four years. Especially in 2004, its distance from the earth was within 0.01 astronomical units, far smaller than that of a near-Earth asteroid. The earth is 0.05 astronomical units from the "warning line", which is 750 million kilometers away."

"This periodic "reincarnation" is not standard, that is, the distance is different every time it approaches the earth, so this brings a certain degree of uncertainty."

"Even if it doesn't hit this time, it will hit one time, especially the universe is full of uncertainties. It is possible that a collision with an asteroid can change its orbit and make it hit directly Earth."

"The existence of this kind of time bomb makes it arbitrarily pass by the earth once every four years. This is irresponsible to the earth and all mankind."

"6500 million years ago, an asteroid twice the size of "Tutatis" led to the extinction of dinosaurs, but humans are not dinosaurs, and we will not accept our doomsday without resistance, so such a time bomb, We're going to cut the thread off of it."

"For this reason, the U.S. government authorized NASA to set up the "Tutatis" project team..."

These engineers and astronomers made things very serious in the documentary, and then led to the US government's plan to capture asteroids.

Since this dangling asteroid is so dangerous, just grab it and tether it to your door.

In the documentary, the ins and outs of the "Tutatis" project in the United States are explained again, and it is also said that it is not easy for the United States to do so, and it has paid a lot of price for the safety of all mankind.

Of course, here, this plan started many years ago, and after so many years of implementation, and later with the help of the alien technology of the initial island, then there is a foolproof guarantee today.

Finally, there was a sentence, "When this asteroid is dragged into the earth's orbit, scientists in the United States will conduct detailed exploration and research on this asteroid."

"These works will be of great reference value for future asteroid deep-space exploration and for exploring key scientific issues such as the internal structure, formation and evolution of other asteroids, the probability of impacting the Earth, the origin of the formation of the solar system, and whether life on Earth was "seed" by meteorites. "

When this happened, the whole world was shocked.

Is it safe to put such a large asteroid in Earth orbit?

What if it hits the earth directly if it makes a mistake?
The US space agency also made an explanation for this.

"According to the latest data, we analyze that this asteroid is not a whole piece of space debris, but is aggregated by different pieces due to gravity, so compared to the whole asteroid, its structure is Relatively loose."

"If something happens and it hits our earth, the loose structure makes it easy for us to smash it with bombs, so in the plan, from the moment it starts moving toward the earth, our The nuke was already aimed at it."

Basically what it means is to say: Don't panic, everything is under control.

And as they completed the feat of landing on the moon decades ago, their aerospace capabilities were once the best in the world, and even now they still maintain the record for the longest distance ever detected by a planetary probe. The words of the US space agency still have a lot of weight .

However, some people still doubt the safety of the plan. For example, what about the debris group formed after blowing it up?
After all, this is a big guy with a size of nearly five kilometers. Even if it is blown to pieces, there will still be some big fragments. Those relatively large fragments will still pose a great threat to the earth.

And the United States is still: don't panic, everything is under control.

Then Balabala Xiaomo...uh, Balabala said a bunch of very reasonable plans, saying that there is really no problem.

And the United States does not need everyone to agree with their plan, as long as some people agree with it, as long as there is no United Nations General Assembly and all countries oppose their implementation of this plan, then it will be fine and the impact will not be great.

So just like that, people can't help but look forward to it while being afraid.

An asteroid nearly 4.5 kilometers long and 2.4 kilometers wide is placed in Earth orbit, which is much larger than the Tiangong Space Station, the largest man-made object in Earth orbit, at least four times larger.

At the very beginning, the 100-meter little guy, the former International Space Station, can be photographed by ordinary photographic equipment at a suitable night to capture the bright light outline, and then the naked eye can see small light spots across the sky.

Later, there was the Tiangong Space Station, which was ten times larger than it, and people could see the outline of the bright light with the naked eye, and ordinary photographic equipment could take pictures more clearly, and even the basic structure could be seen.

If such an asteroid four times larger than the Tiangong space station is placed in orbit, it is estimated that there will be an obvious "big star" in the sky.

Although it will be much smaller than the moon, it is definitely not negligible in the sky, because it is much larger than the small points of light of other stars.
