\"Planet killer\" asteroid with the potential to collide with Earth found hiding in the glare of the sun...

[Fred Bloggs]

The third and final newly-discovered asteroid is 2022 AP7, and unlike its other trio members, it has the power to cause a more powerful punch to the planet. This asteroid is larger than 2021 PH27, with a diameter just under a mile long. It\'s an Apollo asteroid, meaning that it has an orbit path that could one day force it to come into contact with Earth.

The Apollo asteroids are much more numerous and dangerous than they let on:

Like a hurricane party, but everybody can play.

Not good to tempt the fates.

Learn a lesson from that fool who asked where are all the storms.

Popcorn attracts asteroids?

So HE caused the storms!

I think The End of The World would be *cool*! Especially watching
those folks who somehow think the rules don\'t apply to them hunting,
desperately, for a way out!

But, then again, I\'d relish living through a hurricane, tornado, *big*
earthquake, etc. Gotta be a *rush*! Temperature extremes are a big
yawn, by comparison (I\'ve experienced -26 w/ WC of -82 and +117).
They aren\'t \"active\" events.

Of course, the aftermath is tedious...

But, don\'t LIVE in those places so you can just LEAVE when the event
is over! :>

I\'ve been through a lot of hurricanes, including the eye of Betsy, and
one tornado. The hurricanes were exciting and kinda fun, but the
tornado was just some quick outside noise and property damage.

The 1989 earthquake here was sure interesting. All sorts of
electronics jumped off shelves and hit the floor. The 7-story
apartment building nexxt door to work had a brick facing and all of
them peeled off and hit the sidewalk. Luckily nobody was under that.
One brick could have killed you.

This is the discovery paper. Quite an interesting threat in the longer
term but nothing to worry about in our lifetimes (skip to the graphs):

https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-3881/ac8cff/pdf

Plenty of other asteroids that orbit inside the Earth\'s orbit are also
know and one of them having a close encounter with Venus could fling
them out in our direction in a sling shot manoeuvre. Like PH27 which is
now thought to be responsible for a meteor stream on Venus. IOW Venus
flies through the debris left behind by the asteroid. This one is also
notable for having the shortest orbital period of any asteroid 114.5d.

No- it was the butterfly facing into the wrong direction when it flapped its wings that actually caused the storm to form.

The study puts science into an earlier abstraction this meteorologist used to illustrate theoretical chaos:
