With concerns of the Coronavirus Outbreak the media has been less involved with other matters. As a result I would like to post something unrelated to that of the virus.
The linked asteroid collision map is a simulation that lets ordinary users like you take the powers of nature into your hands and view the destruction of asteroid collisions in different magnitudes and mediums.
It's extremely interesting to see how a relatively small object can wreak havoc on society because of it's high impact speed.
I believe that having tools similar to this is important because it raises awareness to the general public about the dangers that asteroids pose to humanity.
According to ScienceAlert, we are horribly unprepared for a major asteroid collision with earth. Therefore we need more tools like these to show the public the problems we have amassed.
With growing concern of Asteroid 99942 Apophis which could hit earth in 2029, it can be important to know the effects that an asteroid like Apophis could cause. When inputting the diameter of Apophis into the simulator, you can view the rings of damage that it causes.
Regardless, the simulation is simply a great and fun time waster.
First the cornyvirus - now this...
Didn’t Atari have a simulator decades ago?
SMOD better hurry up and get here. There’s only 12 or so years left before global warming kills us all.
Let’s see. I’ll have two asteroids. One for China and one for Palosi’s house.
A few years ago there was one like this that showed the devastation from different sizes of atomic bombs.
Fun to mess with. 8)
Can I steer the asteroids to hit NYC?
i guess we wont have to worry about corona haha
Yep... NASA still uses it... Nothing to worry about... Apophis be damned...
Can I simulate sending one to NYC or SF??
Maybe corona virus was a way to get everyone to panic just a little bit and shelter in place while the giant asteroid gets closer.

Yes you can just enter the city name
Asteroids ! One of the original video games !
