鈥 Asteroids tens to hundreds of meters in diameter constitute the most immediate impact hazard to human populations, yet the rate at which they arrive at Earth's surface is poorly known. Astronomic observations
NASA's telescope system only detects asteroids atleast 50 meters in diameter(直径), which is just about the size of 2012DA14. But the meteor was much smaller, which made it harder to see.But what if we do see an asteroid that is headed right for the Earth?There are several possible ...
000 times wider than those on Earth, which typically have a diameter of 10 to 30 meters. Lower gravity and its effect on volcanism explain these outstanding dimensions (with total volumes exceeding 1 billion of cubic meters on the Moon). Tubes as wide as these can be longer than 40 kilome...
TRAPPIST-1b, the innermost planet in the TRAPPIST-1 system, is a rocky world that's similar in size to Earth. With a diameter of 8,846 miles (14,236 km), TRAPPIST-1b is about 1.116 times larger than our planet and 1.374 times as massive,according to NASA. TRAPPIST-1b's surface g...
Astronomers estimated that 2010 WC9 is around 38 to 119 meters in diameter, as big as New York City's Statue of Liberty. The asteroid was first spotted on Nov. 30, 2010, and tracked for about 10 days before astronomers failed to see it. ...
The newly found interloper, called 2018 CB, is estimated to be from 50 to 130 feet (15 to 40 meters) in diameter, and will fly by Earth at about 2:30 p.m. PST (5:30 p.m. EST). "Asteroids of this size do not often approach this close to our planet — maybe only once or ...

Taipei 101, a 101-story skyscraper in Taiwan's capital city, is protected by a swaying, golden ball suspended within an upper floor that is 18 feet in diameter — as wide as a giraffe is tall. The skinniest skyscraper in the world, the Steinway Tower in New York City, has a mass ...
Full size image The Raman spectra (Fig.3) of ETN and STR starting materials were typical for basalt glasses143,144. Post-run samples manifested instead a gradual dwindling of the high-wavenumber envelope (> 800 cm−1) associated with the stretching vibrations of oxygens in the silicate ne...
Meanwhile, Dimorphos is 525 feet (160 meters) in diameter, and its name means "two forms." Dimorphos was chosen for this mission because its size is comparable to asteroids that could pose a threat to Earth. An asteroid the size of Dimorphos could cause “regional devastation” if it ...
