“Antichrist” departed from Earth: this time the world will not end – Business

Asteroid HQ124 successfully passed the orbit of the earth at a distance of 1.25 million kilometers and disappeared in the vast space.

This time the end of the world escaped. In the case of asteroid collision, which unofficially nicknamed the “Antichrist”, with the land, the consequences could be catastrophic. For its size – 325 meters – a celestial body was 10 times more than a meteorite exploded in the skies over Chelyabinsk. In the case of entry into Earth’s atmosphere, he failed to burn completely, and fell to the ground. And then a lot depends on which area it falls. In uninhabited taiga as his “colleague” Tunguska meteorite or for example in densely populated south-east Asia.

In case of a fall in the world’s oceans, and the probability of this is very high, he could provoke a giant tsunami. Additional concern is the fact that scientists have discovered it too late – only in April. This means that we are not only protected from such “space aliens”, but not always we will have time to prepare for the meeting.

This time the danger had passed. What awaits us next?
