Asteroid 4179, also known as "Tutadis", is the largest "volume" of the near-Earth asteroid known to mankind and poses a great threat to the Earth. ”

The "near-Earth asteroid Tutadis" has not been able to reassure astronomers. At present, astronomers around the world have discovered hundreds of thousands of asteroids, including more than 10,000 near-Earth asteroids, and "Tutadis" is the largest one. ”

"With a length of 446 kilometers and a width of 24 kilometers, it orbits the Sun in an elliptical orbit and approaches the Earth basically every four years, and if the huge Toutatis crashes into the Earth, it will be devastating to the Earth."

"Because scientists speculate that the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs is because the Earth was hit by an asteroid twice the diameter of Tutadis, and if this asteroid hits the Earth, then the Earth is also estimated to be a pill."

I don't know when this kind of news began to circulate on the Internet, maybe there was such news after it was discovered, and as it became more and more accurately detected, more and more detectors passed by it, its information became more and more comprehensive, and more and more information was circulated later.

It was only in mid-March that this information flow began to go wrong, and suddenly it began to increase, and it was mainly based on the information from the United States, or the information sent by the famous United States Space Agency.

Although it is the day when "Tutatis" and the earth "pass by" once every four years, arc space has calculated its accurate orbit, and when the time comes, it will pass two distances from the earth and the moon and will not crash into the earth.

Now arc space is authoritative in the earth's aerospace community, and one of the most famous is the accurate tracking data, it says that it will not hit the earth, then it must be no problem.

It's so obvious, why did the United States start to promote the harm again? What's the use of that?

No matter how powerful it is, it won't hit the earth, so what's the worry?

It's just that before people could wonder for long, the United States made its debut.

A heavyweight documentary was released, and with the cooperation of the power of the United States network, it quickly spread around the world.

Several engineers and astronomers who have made great achievements in the field of international astronomy have spoken in the documentary, saying why the United States is doing this.

“…… Since 1992, "Tutadis" has quietly approached the Earth every four years. Especially in 2004, its distance from the Earth was within 001 astronomical units, which was far less than the 005 astronomical units of the "warning line" between the near-Earth asteroid and the Earth, that is, the distance of 7.5 million kilometers. ”

This periodic "reincarnation" is not standard, that is, it is at a different distance every time it approaches the earth, so it brings a certain amount of uncertainty. ”

"Even if it doesn't collide this time, then there will always be a collision, especially since the universe is full of uncertainties, and it is possible that it collides with an asteroid and changes its orbit and makes it crash directly into the Earth."

"The existence of this kind of time bomb to let it pass by the earth once every four years at will is irresponsible to the earth and to all mankind."

"65 million years ago, an asteroid twice the size of "Tutadis" caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, but humans are not dinosaurs, and we will not accept our own doomsday without resistance, so we have to cut off the thread of such a time bomb. ”

To this end, the United States government authorized the United States Space Agency to set up the "Tutadis" program group ......"

The engineers and astronomers made the matter very serious in the documentary, and then led to the US government's plan to capture the asteroid.

Since this dangling asteroid is so dangerous, it would be nice to just grab it and tether it to your doorstep.

In the documentary, he told the cause and effect of the "Tutadis" plan of the United States, and said how difficult it was for the United States to do this, and paid a lot of costs, for the safety of all mankind.

Of course, here, this plan started many years ago, and after so many years of implementation, and later with the help of the initial island alien technology, there is a foolproof guarantee today.

Finally, he also said, "When this asteroid is dragged into the Earth's orbit, scientists in the United States will conduct detailed exploration and research on this asteroid." ”

These works will provide important reference value for future asteroid deep space exploration, and have important reference value for exploring the internal structure and formation and evolution of other asteroids, the probability of hitting the earth, the origin of the formation of the solar system, and whether life on the earth is "seeded" by meteorites. ”

As soon as this incident came out, the whole world was shocked.

Is it safe to put an asteroid in orbit around the Earth?

What if it were a mistake and it crashed straight into Earth?

In this regard, the United States Space Agency also explained.

"According to the latest data, we analyzed that this asteroid is not a whole piece of space debris, but is made up of different pieces of debris that are brought together by gravity, so its structure is relatively loose compared to the whole asteroid."

"If something happens and it crashes into our Earth, the loose structure makes it easy for us to shatter it with a bomb, so in the plan, from the moment it starts moving towards Earth, our nuclear bomb is aimed at it."

Basically, it's saying don't panic, you're in control.

And as the feat of landing on the moon decades ago, the aerospace strength was once the first in the world, and even they now hold the record for the longest distance ever detected by a planetary probe, the United States Space Agency's words still have a lot of weight.

However, there are still people who doubt the safety of the plan, such as what about the debris that forms after blowing it up?

After all, this is a big thing with a size of nearly five kilometers, even if it is blown up, there will be some large fragments, and those relatively large fragments will still pose a great threat to the earth.

And the United States is still not panicking, everything is under control.

And then the little devil of Balabala...... Well, Balabala said a bunch of very reasonable plans, saying that it was really okay.

And the United States does not need everyone to agree with their plan, as long as some people agree, as long as there is no United Nations General Assembly, and all countries oppose their implementation of this plan, then there is no problem, and the impact is not great.

So just like that, in addition to being afraid, people can't help but look forward to it.

An asteroid nearly 45 kilometers long and 24 kilometers wide is placed in the Earth's orbit, which is much larger than the Tiangong space station, the largest man-made object in the Earth's orbit, at least four times larger.

At the beginning, the 100-meter little guy, the former International Space Station, could be captured by ordinary photographic equipment on a suitable night, and then small spots of light were visible to the naked eye across the sky.

Later, with the Tiangong space station, which was ten times larger than it, people could see the general outline of the bright light with the naked eye, and then ordinary photographic equipment could shoot more clearly, and even the basic structure could be seen.

If such an asteroid is placed in orbit that is four times larger than the Tiangong space station, it is estimated that there will be one more obvious "big star" in the sky.

Although it will be much smaller than the moon, it is definitely not to be ignored in the sky, because it is much larger than the small spots of light of other stars.
