Amore accurate simulation of the impact that made the Vredefort crater, Earth's largest, two billion years ago, shows the asteroid was bigger than believed.Anasteroid simulator that lets you design your own asteroid and launch it at Earth. Simulate the effects of an asteroid impact on Earth's population.
Theresearch, published today in the Planetary Science Journal, introduces a novel approach to simulating the energy deposition from a nuclear device on an asteroid's surface. This new toolThesimulations show that the asteroid hit Earth at an angle of about 60 degrees, which maximised the amount of climate-changing gases thrust into the upper atmosphere. Drawn from a combination of 3D numerical impact simulations and geophysical data from the site of the impact, the new models are the first ever fully 3D
Anew interactive asteroid simulator has been created to show the damage and consequences of an asteroid impact. The Asteroid Launcher website, developed by Neal Agarwal, allows you to
