The good thing in the asteroid incident of last Thursday was that particle didn't hit to Earth
Last Thursday the asteroid, what size was about 45 meters passed the Earth from a very short distance. That distance was very close, and the small size of the asteroid made it very difficult to locate. And this kind of situations is really scary because of those small asteroids are the majority in our solar system. And the thing, what makes those asteroids dangerous, is that their trajectory can change very soon, and even the smallest stones can make them change their direction.
The destruction, what those very small asteroids can cause is quite small if we think only the destruction area, but if that asteroid drops to the populated city area like London, the number of casualties might be very high. And this makes those small particles scary. When we are thinking about the way to avoid impact, the safest method would be to turn those asteroids to another trajectory, and that seems a very good way.
But the problem is that if we would choose the wrong trajectory, that asteroid can hit to Ceres or some other big asteroid. Or it can start to travel with spiral trajectory, and in the worst case that trajectory would be the same with Earth, but in the opposite direction, and in that case the situation would be very dangerous. There is a possibility, that the asteroid would be closing Earth from the direction of Sun, it can come very close until it can be located. And in those cases, the nuclear explosion would be the only way to avoid impact.
The asteroid can shoot the kinetic energy warheads, what would break it to smaller particles, but if there would be the only couple of hours, the nuclear blast would be an only effective choice. The use of high-yield thermonuclear weapon could steam entire asteroid, but the EMP-pulse and radioactive fallout would be devastating. Another way to handle big asteroids is detonated series of small neutron bombs on the same side and point on the asteroid, and if there is water under the core, the steam can turn the trajectory to another way.
Or that particle can be pushed by the rocket stage, what has feet on the nose, and that thrust can push the asteroid, what is about 500 meters away from the planet Earth. But the turning must begin early enough, that the rockets would affect. And if the speed of asteroid is too high, the pulling can happen too slow. The problem of that project is that Earth is quite a big particle and it can pull asteroid to the impact course, even the pushing would first seem effective.
If we would crush the asteroid by using nuclear weapons, the result could be that we would face the swarm of the meteors, what are the size of 50 meters, and we would not have time to locate every stone bite on that cloud. And when those particles will drop, the forests and cities start to burn. The result could be the nuclear winter, or global winter, where most parts of our ecosystem will suffer. And the new ice-age will be the thing, what mankind will face. Maybe the reason for the ice-ages were smaller meteorites, what hit on Earth.
Those meteorites were not so big, as the meteorite, what destroyed dinosaurs, but they caused the dropping of the global temperature. And when we are looking at the evidence of that catastrophe, the thing, what supports that theory are the puppies of Mammoths and other animals. A large number of very remains of very small animals, which are found from Northern Russia are telling, that the ice-ages were begun in the middle of the summer, and the temperature decreased very fast. And maybe in somewhere the meteorite hit on Earth, and caused that catastrophe.
