Find them now, the Asteroid grand challenge | NASA

I figured this would work with the Sci/Space threads.

Also, may I comment on how good the visuals look, I mean holy cow they're good

Also, here's a really cool Asteroid impact sim

I collided an Earth-sized dense rock asteroid with Earth itself at 72 km/s and a 90 degree impact angle.

"Up to 90 percent of trees blown down", but hey, at least 10% of them survived!

10/10 would collide an asteroid with Earth again

Probably, it's a visualisation of:

It seems a little more extensive than that, but the equations used are likely the same.

Well well well, looks like Bennu wants to cause some problems.

Nice video ! (?) Hopefully doesn't create a too ambitious audience for that.

Also, I think sending a probe specifically to observe more YORP effect is justifiable. The same thing also happens for almost everything in space near a star so learning more of one would help in understanding the others.

Thought the two are basically the same ? One links the other.
