Isn't it from some BBC documentary about the ways the world can end?

Looks so stupid and fake.
A real meteor would fall like 10 times faster.

A meteor that size would emit a super heated purple burn that would instantly blind you if you actually looked at it. It would light the entire planet like day for the instant it flashes through the atmosphere, then the whole planet would be shrouded in darkness in a matter of hours as the dust rises.

So this whole January 29th impact bullshit got me reading about meteors and whatnot.

This one was seriously a close call:

"On March 23, 1989 the 300 metre (1,000-foot) diameter Apollo asteroid 4581 Asclepius (1989 FC) missed the Earth by 700,000 kilometres (400,000 miles) passing through the exact position where the Earth was only six hours before. If the asteroid had impacted it would have created the largest explosion on Earth in recorded history." If you go on to read the article about that asteroid it says the impact would've been the equivalent of 1 Hiroshima sized bomb going off every second for 50 days.

look at the fucking size of it, of course it looks like it's moving slow

Meh, in 2004 we had one miss us by 6,000 meters or one earth width.

Yeah, but the sheer scale of the devastation Asclepius would've caused is amazing.

Plus the fact it passed through the position Earth was at 6 hours before is just creepy.

If it would have hit a populated area, fuck yeah it'd cause some damage, obliterating cities and igniting the air. At 300m It is likely to explode in the atmosphere, leaving some fairly large chunks a few yards across crashing down and probably a 2000 square mile area of destruction (think: everything standing blown to the ground and burned). However, people a few hundred miles away would not even notice it (except for the "bright nights"). Look at Tunguska, 70m object exploded in the sky and leveled 800 square miles of forest, news didn't reach people for a few years and it wasn't researched until a decade after it occurred. Potential massive destruction if it landed near a populated area, yes. World ending event? Fuck no.

an asteroid about 10000 metres in diameter.

I've heard an asteroid 1km across would have potential for destroying earth. But it all depends, it could be slow moving, or land in the ocean ect.

LOS ANGELES - An asteroid at least 500 feet long will make a rare close pass by Earth next week, but there is no chance of an impact, scientists reported Thursday.
ADVERTISEMENT

The object, known as 2007 TU24, is expected to whiz by Earth on Tuesday with its closest approach at 334,000 miles, or about 1.4 times the distance of Earth to the moon.

The nighttime encounter should be bright enough for medium-sized telescopes to get a glimpse, said Don Yeomans, manager of the Near-Earth Object Program Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which tracks potentially dangerous space rocks.

However, next week's asteroid pass "has no chance of hitting, or affecting, Earth," Yeomans said.

An actual collision of a similar-sized object with Earth occurs on average every 37,000 years.

Spotted last October by the NASA-funded Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona, 2007 TU24 is estimated to be between 500 feet and 2,000 feet long. The next time an asteroid this size will fly this close to Earth will be in 2027.

Scientists plan to point the Goldstone radar telescope in California and the Arecibo radar telescope in Puerto Rico at the asteroid and observe its path before and after its closest approach to Earth. Researchers will use instruments to measure its rotation and composition.

The 2007 TU24 rendezvous comes a day before another asteroid is projected to pass close to Mars.

Scientists have effectively ruled out a collision between the Red Planet and the asteroid 2007 WD5, estimating it will pass at a distance of more than 16,000 miles from the Martian surface. Initial observations of the Mars-bound asteroid put the odds of an impact at 1 in 25, but scientists later dropped the odds to 1 in 10,000.

Possible undead situation. Be on high alert. Plan in advance.

I shall keep you all notified.
