NgoMvulo odlulileyo i-asteroid iphantse yabetha uMhlaba kungabikho mntu waziyo

Sonke siyazi ukuba uMhlaba, kuhambo olungathintelekiyo kwisithuba esijikeleza iLanga, ubonakalisiwe kwizinto ezininzi ezihamba emajukujukwini ngalo naliphi na ixesha ezinokuba nefuthe ngokuchasene nalo. Kuyinyani ukuba uninzi lwazo lungqubana nayo kwaye ezinye azibangeli monakalo onokuba mkhulu kwaye kude kungabonakali ngokuxhomekeke kubungakanani bento uqobo. Ngoku cinga ukuba kuya kwenzeka ntoni ukuba, njengoko kwenzekile kwiintsuku ezintathu ezidlulileyo, a I-asteroid yeemitha ezingama-34 ububanzi yayiza kubetha iplanethi yethu.

Nangona ibonakala ifana nefilimu yesayensi kunayo nayiphi na enye into, inyani kukuba i-asteroid esebenza njengomzekelo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ukuba yayiza kubetha uMhlaba, ngakumbi yayigqitha kumgama ofana nawo isiqingatha somgama phakathi koMhlaba neNyanga. Njengoko bekulindelwe, i-NASA khange icothe ukubhaptiza le asteroid ngegama le Ngo-2017 AG13.

I-asteroid yeemitha ezingama-34 ubukhulu iphantse yabetha uMhlaba ngoMvulo odlulileyo.

Ngokutsho kweengcali, ukuba le asteroid ibibethile emhlabeni, ngeyakhupha amandla alingana nawo malunga Iibhombu zenyukliya ezilishumi elinambini ezifana nezo zenziwa eUnited States eHiroshima. Gcina ukhumbula ukuba sithetha ngobunzima obumalunga ne-15 x 34 yeemitha ezazisondela kwiplanethi yethu malunga neekhilomitha ezili-16 ngomzuzwana. Eyona nto ixhalabisayo kukuba le asteroid khange ibhaqwe kude kube ngoMgqibelo emva kwemini.

Ngokweengxelo ze-NASA, kubonakala ngathi ukuba i-asteroid ibibethile eMhlabeni, ngesele kunjalo yaqhuma ngaphambi kokuchukumisa umphezulu Ngokufanayo. Iziphumo zolu dubulo zinokubangela ukuba umtshangatshangiso owandayo uphawuleke kakhulu nangona ungekho kubukhulu obukhulu njengalowo ubangelwe yi-asteroid ebulala iidinosaurs.
