Butterfly The size of a football .. NASA reveals the danger of approaching two asteroids from Earth
05-05-2021.........................The Center for Near Earth Objects Studies, "CNEOS" of the US Space Agency "NASA", confirmed that two giant asteroids will approach Earth this week.
According to the NASA Center, the size of a single asteroid is equivalent to a soccer field, and that they will pass from Earth during its orbit around the sun.
The asteroids 2021 HC3 and 2021 AE4 will pass in a field close to our planet, "relatively", at a distance of approximately 18 times that separating us from the moon, according to the American magazine "Newsweek".
Although the two asteroids will be 4.3 million miles away from us, the Near-Earth Object Studies Center has indicated the possibility of observing a brightness emanating from them.
Scientists estimate that the diameter of the asteroid "2021 HC3" may reach 984 feet, meaning that it is larger than a football field and the "Empire State" building, while the asteroid enjoys. "
Earth attracts about 100 tons of material coming from space every day, most of it consisting of small dust particles.
butterfly It is very rare for a large asteroid to hit the Earth, but the Near-Earth Object Studies Center had warned of the possibility of a giant asteroid colliding with Earth every 10,000 years.
And global space agencies have reached through an advanced and complex simulation process, that there is currently no technology capable of preventing the collision of any giant asteroid that might strike Earth.
The simulation, which was supervised by the US space agency "NASA" and lasted for a week, concluded that the catastrophe of an asteroid collision with the Earth could not be avoided, even if we were given a period of six months in preparation for that.
And according to the "Independent", such "catastrophic scenario", which was discussed in the Planetary Defense Conference sponsored by the United Nations, proved that the countries of the world are not prepared for such kind of disasters.
Conference participants said in a statement: "If we encounter such a scenario in real life, we will not be able to launch any spacecraft in such a short notice of the current capabilities."
butterfly The only option to respond to such a dangerous event would be to evacuate the region before the asteroid collision, but the area of influence will affect large parts of the world.
Commenting on the experience, Lindley Johnson, Planetary Defense Officer at NASA, said: "Every time we participate in exercises of this kind, we learn more about the most prominent responders to such a catastrophic event, who needs to know the information and when."
"Ultimately, these exercises help the global defense community communicate with each other and with our governments to ensure that we all coordinate if a potential future impact threat is identified," Johnson added.
In response to the news of the failure of the simulation, Elon Musk, president of SpaceX, said: "The lack of a solution was one of the many reasons that make us in need of larger and more advanced missiles."
SpaceX recently won a contract worth $ 2.89 billion from NASA to develop the next-generation Starship spacecraft, which is being built to transport people and goods around the solar system.
butterfly SpaceX also says, "Starship" will be "the most powerful launch vehicle in the world," and it can be used to assist the tasks of diverting the trajectory of an asteroid heading to Earth.

Thursday 06, May 2021 01:03.........Newspapers published in Baghdad today, Thursday, May 6, followed the reactions to the Turkish operations inside Iraqi territories ... and the treatments required for the effects of the high exchange rate of the dollar, and other issues.
On the issue of the Turkish military operations, Al-Zaman newspaper referred to the saying of the security expert, Imad Alou: "Ankara's blatant interventions inside Iraqi lands and the Kurdistan region's disregard for the military operations carried out by the Turkish army against the Turkish Kurdistan Workers' Party, will make the country's sovereignty vulnerable to abuse."
Alou added, "The government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, issued statements protesting the statements of Turkish officials regarding the initiation of building a permanent military base in northern Iraq. This is a blatant interference and a violation of sovereignty in light of the continuing military operations against the Workers' Party in the border areas and elsewhere."
The security expert stressed: "This presence and intervention must be met with a strict government response, since these areas contain villages with civilian residents. The continuation of operations in them affects the lives of these innocent people." "He is the one who facilitated the process of the Turkish Defense Minister’s entry into these areas, due to the difference in positions and opinions between Baghdad and Erbil. These gaps in the political decision will make sovereignty vulnerable to abuse."
butterfly The newspaper touched on the position of the Iraqi Communist Party on these Turkish interventions, noting the request of the political bureau of the party the government to declare a clear position on Turkey's ongoing and flagrant violations of sovereignty.
It quoted a communist party statement in this regard: "The political forces are called to overcome the general silence prevailing in the face of this disregard for national sovereignty and the continuation of aggressive military actions targeting Iraqi regions and villages, and raise their voice in condemnation and denunciation."
Al-Zawra newspaper, issued by the Iraqi Journalists Syndicate, dealt with the implications of raising the dollar exchange rate and the treatments required for it.
And in this regard, it quoted a member of the Parliamentary Economic and Investment Committee, MP Salem Al-Tufayli, as saying: "The real treatments for the high exchange rate need time for the stability of the local market," noting: "Iraq has all the infrastructure to improve the agricultural and industrial reality, but it needs honest and efficient hands." ".
He added, "Many parliamentarians called for a reduction in the price of the dollar, not to the previous price, but gradually so that the citizen would not be affected economically," indicating: "The budget supported the private sector and large projects in order to attract part of the workforce, and the committee also presented a program and recommendations. To the prime minister, it included support for the private, agricultural and industrial sector. "
butterfly While a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Representative Abd al-Hadi al-Saadawi, said in a statement to Al-Zawraa: “The change in the exchange rate of the dollar can take place through consultation with the Central Bank,” indicating: “The determination of 130 thousand dinars for 100 dollars will be appropriate, reasonable and acceptable.” .
In another matter related to electoral systems, the newspaper / Al-Dustour / said in its editorial under the title / Elections for those who are good at the game /: “The modularity of the electoral systems of previous rounds was based on an illusory belief. This time, it requires mechanisms to deal with the electoral process that are radically different from what was the norm in past times.
She added: "The big variables in the number of candidates for each district, their quality, the method of distributing them, the mobilization of them, and the consequences of the desired results were absent from many of the competing forces, to enter the dispersal tunnel for the votes of supporters of their candidates and those of the supporters of the political bloc.
A candidate who weakens the momentum of his candidates, unlike the one who calculates it in the calculation of the acquaintance and limits the nomination to one constituency for a candidate he chooses carefully who knows his chances, capabilities and abilities to attract and attract the largest number of votes.
butterfly And she continued: "Often this depends on regional affiliations, where the opportunity for the candidate from outside the district is weakened. As for tribal and tribal affiliations, they have their share in constituencies whose public is closely related to the customs and traditions of the clan, while political affiliation or religious affiliation has a significant share in diverting the paths and inclinations of the voter to him." And to adapt it to his side, so that the pressure groups that affected all previous election rounds regain their attendance again. "
The newspaper concluded by saying: "The forces that have realized the secret of the new electoral system will surpass others, because they will master the strings of the game and know well where to throw their nets to catch the largest amount of stray and lost votes."
