The most dangerous asteroids are near the Earth… then we will all be destroyed! Why did the ISRO chief say this?

New Delhi : Asteroids are often discussed in the world of space. According to the scientists of the world, the closest asteroid to Earth at present is Apophis. It is being described as the most dangerous asteroid of this era. Its diameter is 370 meters. Scientists say that this dangerous asteroid will pass close to Earth in April 2029. The ISRO chief has given information about the impact of dangerous asteroids on the world and protection from them.

Scientists of the world are working

News18 report quoted ISRO Chief S Somnath as saying that the impact of an asteroid 10 km or larger is considered as an extinction event. Due to this, most of the species on Earth are destroyed. According to the ISRO Chief, similar impact has been hypothesized to cause the extinction of dinosaurs from Earth. ISRO Chief says that the impact has been hypothesized to cause the extinction of dinosaurs. Somnath said that space agencies around the world are working towards building planetary defense capabilities to protect the Earth from asteroids. Also, ISRO is also willing to take responsibility in this regard.

… then everything will end

In the report, ISRO Chief told that our lifespan is 70-80 years and we do not see such a disaster in our lifetime, so we assume that these are not possible. If you look at the history of the world and the universe, these events happen often… asteroids coming towards the planets and their impact. Somnath said that I have seen the asteroid hitting Jupiter, Shoemaker-Levy. If such an event happens on Earth, we will all be finished. These are real fears. We should prepare ourselves. We do not want this to happen to Mother Earth. We want humanity and all living beings to live here. But we cannot stop it.

What is the preventive measure?

ISRO Chief says that we have to find alternatives to this. Therefore, we have a way by which we can change their direction. We can detect the asteroid coming near the Earth and move it away. Sometimes this may be impossible. Therefore, there is a need to develop technology. This includes the ability to predict, the ability to send heavy props there to change its direction, improving observation and working together with other countries for a protocol.

Regarding the threat of asteroids, Associate Director of ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) Anil Kumar said that experiments are going on to find out whether an asteroid is expected to hit within a year? Are we prepared for defense?
