A screenshot from the Asteroid Launcher impact simulator shows the fireball created by the impact of a 1-kilometer-wide asteroid striking New York City at an angle of 45 degrees while traveling at ...

Imagine if scientists discovered a giant asteroid with a 72% chance of hitting the Earth in about 14 years — a space rock so big that it could not only take out a city but devastate a whole region.

NASA conducted a new tabletop simulation of discovering a large asteroid headed for Earth.; Experts feared Congress wouldn't fund a mission to an asteroid with a 72% chance of impacting Earth.

The simulator also doesn’t factor in elevation. For example, when chucking a small comet at Mount Everest, it says the projectile would disintegrate 1,861 feet above the Earth.

Simulator shows just how bad an asteroid impact could be. You can select from type of asteroid, size and even speed to get an estimation of what might happen.

The simulation had an asteroid with a 72 per cent chance of hitting Earth in 2038, impacting North America, Southern Europe, and North Africa. It later moves too close to the Sun and it isn't ...
