An example is a G4 storm that hit the Earth in March of 2023 and caused aurora seen as far as Phoenix, Arizona. It had originally been expected to be a G3, but a later eruption of the sun made the ...
This is a list of asteroids that have impacted Earth after discovery and orbit calculation that predicted the impact in advance. As of December 2024 [update] , all of the asteroids with predicted impacts were under 5 m (16 ft) in size that were discovered just hours before impact, and burned up in the atmosphere as meteors .
If it were to hit the Earth, it would be a major event, with an energy of approximately 350,000 megatons of TNT (1.5 Z J), enough to cause global damage. Sara Russell, a meteorite researcher at London's Natural History Museum, told the BBC on 2 September 2003 that she was not worried that 2003 QQ 47 would be a danger; "The odds are very, very ...
At the Observatory, one of the professors tells them that the comet is going to hit the Earth, and gives them the exact date and time that it's going to happen.

An asteroid streaked past northern Siberia in the middle of the night Tuesday before burning up in Earth's atmosphere, lighting up the skies with a blinding flash, dramatic video shows.
With an observation arc of 15 years, it is known that its orbit leaves it entirely outside of Earth's orbit, never coming closer than 0.61 AU (91 million km) to Earth . [2] On 7 August 2023 the asteroid will be roughly 1.1 AU (160 million km) from Earth with an uncertainty region of ±142 km. [ 10 ] It will reach aphelion (farthest point from ...
