Earth threatens grand meteor attack – commander

The Russian scientists have warned of an impending meteorite threat to Earth. According to them, the planet may be once or twice attacked solid celestial bodies.

Professor Ural Federal University (Urfa) Victor Grokhovsky warned of an impending meteorite threat to Earth. Victor Grokhovsky suggested that up to 2100 the land will fall even more similar to the “Chelyabinsk meteorite” object. Recall that last fall February 15, 2015 into the lake Chebarkul.

His hypothesis researchers base on statistics meteor attack Earth in the last few centuries. According to him, large meteorites can cause substantial damage to the planet, falling 2-3 times per century. In particular, in the last century that the countdown has begun to the Tunguska meteorite that fell in Siberia near the Stony Tunguska River.

During the day on our planet fall approximately one hundred celestial bodies, but most of them drowning in the oceans, seen except that the sailors. But large fireballs fly to Earth two or three times a century. And that means that after the meteorite Chelyabinsk worth waiting for his “brothers” bigger. Grokhovsky recalled that the largest meteorites attack Earth 2-3 times a century: in the past it was the Tunguska meteorite, and at least two more large space body. Noting that experts now, of course, watching the asteroids and comets, the professor stresses that at present, scientists can not keep track of the meteorites of this magnitude.

«During the 1.5 years we do not step in advanced forecasting convergence of meteorites to the Earth “, – he added. To create the current system, says Grokhovsky, billions of rubles and cooperation of the countries. ” In this recent past the Earth at a very close distance and high-speed passing asteroid 86666, and even the American specialists NASA, usually give encouraging predictions in such cases, said its Collision with our planet. .

The power of the explosion thundered then estimated at 40-50 megatons, equivalent to the energy of the hydrogen bomb. Then, according Grochowski, there were at least two large-scale invasion of the heavenly bodies. The professor said that his assumption is based on an analysis of statistical attacks Earth for the last several centuries. Grokhovsky noted that the largest meteorites fall on our planet about three times in 100 years. Scientists observe potentially dangerous celestial bodies but were found not all of them.

«In particular, it was planned to launch a series of satellites that could monitor the situation. Now, however, the topic began to decline. I note that in 1.5 years we do not step in predicting the progress of convergence of meteorites with the Earth, “- said the professor. Due to the fact that the devices that track the approach of dangerous space bodies are billions of rubles, the scientist offers to create the world kooperatsiyupo this issue.
