Comet 26 km wide can collide with the Earth in 4479, erase all life

Swift-Tuttle comet with a diameter of 26 km can collide with the Earth in 2,400 years, creating the worst genocide disaster on our planet.

1. Calculated the time "Moon touched Earth"
2. Will the Earth be affected if the comet once destroyed the dinosaurs hitting the Sun?

According to astronomers, Swift-Tuttle will probably hit Earth on September 15, 4479. At that time, it would travel at 60 km / s and cause an explosion to release an energy equivalent of 20 million thermonuclear bombs, 30 times larger than the impact that killed dinosaurs more than 60 years ago. million years.

But you don't need to worry too much about our n-generation descendants, because scientists have also suggested that the probability of Swift-Tuttle hitting the Earth is extremely small.

Swift-Tuttle comet was discovered in 1862. Swift-Tuttle moves in orbit near the Earth and needs 133 years to spin around the Sun. The last time this comet entered the solar system was 1992. Although the possibility of this object hitting the Earth is very low, the gravitational force of Jupiter can cause the collision to occur.
