The collision of the planets gave rise to the Moon. What other "surprises" from outer space to expect in the coming years?

People are afraid of the cosmos. Most of these fears are caused by multiple films about the collision of the planet with an asteroid, which has global consequences and threatens the extinction of our civilization. Also, the constant predictions of scientists about the approaching asteroids and meteorites make the nervous burying underground bunkers. Today we will consider the known cases of such collisions and the possibility of such in the future.

New hypotheses about the appearance of the moon

Scholars in Switzerland recently dumbfounded the media with a statement that the Moon arose because of the Earth's collision with a large wandering planet.

The clash of the planets, they say, occurred more than four billion years ago. The object crashed into the Earth the size of Mars, and "down and feathers" flew from the ground in different directions. Several fragments united, creating a new celestial body - the eternal companion of the Earth to the Moon.

Andreas Roifez - a scientist at the University of Switzerland - painted the situation as follows: a collision of planets occurred at high speed, and more than five hundred thousand pieces "fell off" into space. But only ten thousand of them became the Moon, and the rest of the great impact force flew a long distance from the orbit, so we do not see them.

Why did such an assumption arise?

The fact is that scientists have long puzzled over the origin of the moon. Recent studies of samples from large depths of the satellite showed that the breed is similar to the composition of the Earth. Hence the hypothesis that only a collision of the Earth with the planet could create a new cosmic body due to breakaway pieces.

Space "monster"

In 2004, scientists began to devote much time to studying a brown dwarf, called the complex name "Planet 2M1207". Previously it was assumed that it is in the immediate vicinity of another space object - a smaller 2M1207b. It was believed that the second, like the Moon, is simply a satellite of a more adult planet, but recent clear pictures showed that this is one planet.

That is, they were originally two, but they managed to grow together and now live together. This "Sweet Couple" was created by a very recent clash of planets, which occurred literally the day before yesterday by space standards, and according to our - earthly - several tens of thousands of years have flown under the bridge since that significant day.

Their "union" can be seen, armed with a telescope, in the constellation Centavir. The phenomenon of such a "monster" has become a whole event for astronomers, so they are still studying the details of the "accident on the space road."

Thus, the collision of the planets is a possible tragedy. It once occurred on the Earth, the benefit is not yet populated. If this happens again, then there will not be a single bug left: the oceans will come out of their borders, or they may evaporate altogether due to the highest temperature of the Earth's surface, which arose from the impact.

2017 is the last for our civilization?

The Americans again took up their. There was a dispute between these scientists: will our planet die in October 2017 or will the catastrophe again pass us by?

Supposedly on October 12 this year in the immediate vicinity of the Earth the asteroid TC4 will migrate. It is said that its size exceeds the very statue of Liberty, so if it suits him "to look at us for a light", then this light will be a lot. The consequences threaten several thousand people that will surpass the scale of the tragedy in Chelyabinsk in 2013, when as a result of the fall of the foreign body over 1200 people were injured on the territory of the megalopolis.

But it's not so bad. Another scientist certifies that TC4 will pass by, but we will have to meet the giant Nibiru, or, as he was called, the planet X. The clash of two planets, that is, the Earth and Nibiru, should also take place in October, only the date of arrival of the space visitor is not yet Is known.

The scientist only said that on October 5, she completely closes the Sun from earthlings, flying in the constellation of the Virgin. He also says that the consequences of the collision will be terrible, so it's time to dig bunkers, store food and water. This is necessary in order to survive!

The land is under attack and in 2029

In April 2029, the Earth will again become the target of the asteroid. This time Apophis-99942 will approach us, its dimensions are supposedly in diameter from 400 to 600 meters. A little, but also a lot for the disaster to happen.

The way it will lie at a distance of 30 to 40 thousand kilometers from the Earth, so something happens: in the best outcome will be damaged near-Earth space stations, and at worst - a collision with the planet.

The orbit of an impending body passes between us and the Moon, and this, as Sergey Smirnov, a senior research fellow, says, is very bad. The thing is that the situation will resemble a splinter floating between two moving ships. And in which direction this sliver will be thrown by the waves - it is not clear.

To split an asteroid in space is also not possible, because its exact size and composition of the rock is not known, so it is impossible to find a suitable "weapon".

In any case, do not panic ahead of time, because scientists have predicted many times the end of the world in connection with the collision of our planet with another, but no prediction has ever come true.
