If the asteroid 2024 YR4 collided with the Moon, many satellites would be destroyed by the explosion. This is stated in a study published on the printed print platform arxiv.
According to the description of Wigt's learning gender from Western Ontario University (Canada), a 2024 -year asteroid with a small probability may encounter the ground or the moon in 2032. Wigt said the shot will be compared in energy released with a large nuclear explosion. In the case of a collision of a space object with the moon, many satellites will be affected.
The material says that the Earth's atmosphere will protect the surface from the moon stones from one millimeter to one cm will fly out of the moon due to a shot. However, high -speed small meteorites will surpass a significant amount of satellites.
A stone size of one cm, flying at a speed of tens of thousands of meters per second, will look like a bullet. He emphasized Paul Wigert.
According to calculations, in the case of a shot from the surface of the natural earth satellite, 100 million kilograms of material will be raised. WiglyT and his colleagues found that Earthlings will witness an interesting meteorite rain, shining the night sky.
In this case, the probability of collision in 2024 years with the moon is still low. According to space telescope, James Webb in May, the asteroid will touch the surface of a natural satellite with a probability of 4.3 %. Wigt has summarized that more accurate calculations of the asteroids can be done in 2028.
In June, experts from Goddard space flight center said the magnetic storms could lead to early Starlink Service. In this case, the equipment of SpaceX Group may fall to the ground.
