Note that, of all blast mitigation measures, distance is the most effective measure because other measures vary in effectiveness and can be more costly. However, often it is not possible to provide adequate stand-off distance. For example, sidewalks in many urban areas may be less than 10 ...
Each time a potentially hazardous asteroid flies past Earth, it has a closest approach distance — what NASA calls the Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance. MOID is typically measured in 'astronomical units', with one AU equal to around 150 million km, or the average distan...
Armageddonopens with a quite-nice shot of space. Once the Moon rises from the bottom of the screen – allowing us to judge our relative speed – we realize we’re already trapped inside a sweeping, Michael Bay CGI pan-and-spin, as if the camera were, say, a spaceship about to destroy...
