Hello..... Asteroid: warnings from Czech researchers Scientists recommend conducting research to avoid "a local or even continental disaster". They fear a collision with the Earth. Published on 06/06/2017 with 19:39 | The Point.fr Astronomers from the Czech Academy of Sciences are worried. On Tuesday, June 6, they spoke of the higher risk for the Earth to be affected by an asteroid. They therefore strongly recommend research to avoid "a local or even continental disaster". The asteroids in question come from a recently discovered branch of the Taurids, shooting stars of a meteoric swarm regularly appearing in the sky. The study strongly recommends that further research be carried out to "better describe this real source of potentially dangerous objects important enough to cause a local or even continental disaster". The new branch includes objects moving together around the Sun. The Earth meets them once every few years, for a period of about three weeks. "During this period, the likelihood of a collision with a size object (about a dozen meters in diameter) is obviously higher," the Czech Academy said in a press release. The scientists drew their conclusions after analyzing 144 large luminous meteors in the Taurids and detecting this new branch comprising at least two asteroids 200 to 300 meters in diameter. "Most probably, the branch also includes many undetected asteroids, about ten meters in diameter or larger," the academy said in a press release. "Hence the risk of a collision with an asteroid that obviously increases when the Earth meets this swarm of interplanetary matter, every few years", according to this text. Asteroids are very fragile, but when they are as big, they can penetrate deep into the atmosphere and create a real threat of collision with the Earth, scientists explain.
