Japanese animatrion of small planet impact.

Animation of giganitic impact. It is Japanese language, but the animation tells the story well enough.

That animation was used on a documentary I saw on one of the Discovery Science Channel, IIRC, or maybe it was the National Geographic Channel. After watching it (again), I'm not sure which would be worse. Being at ground zero or waiting for my doom to make its way across the planet. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> "2012..

I think the second option would be worse. At least @ Ground Zero, the end would be instantaneous. In all likelihood an impact of that magnitude will never happen as the impactor is HUGE, a dwarf planet almost. However it is an amazing, quality piece of animation, hence me posting it. I could see that being on both Discovery Science Channel & National Geographic.

I don't remember the link, but it's been posted several times on the science fora. Basically, you input the composition, velocity, mass, and angle of impact that an impactor would take, and it tells you what the results would be. It also tells you in terms of years, how often such an impact might occur. One that big would be likely to only happen once in Earth's entire history. Thank goodness. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> "2012.. Year of the Dragon!! Get on the Dragon Wagon!". </div>

I would be in Big Ben tower, since it seemed to be ringing even after the whole thing lol. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> -pyoko the duck It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. </div>

Hi pyoko, True British Grit you see. I think at that point London was still a long way from the worst of the effects. However, Big Ben would not chime again afterwards. The rise in temperature was depicted to be dramatic, with the Mediterranean boiling away from the coast of Greece & that glacier evaporating in seconds. I assume the city depicted under the shadow of the incoming impactor was Tokyo? Clearly Japan was depicted as being at Ground Zero.

The upshot is that with an impact like that we'd probably get a new moon out of it. The downside is that there'd be no one around to see it. And for future reference for any aspiring Japanese filmmakers out there, if you are going to do a movie about the end of the world it is normally a good idea to have a narrator with a slightly more ominous to to their voice than a Japanese Airline stewardess. I couldn't tell if she was describing how a meteor impact could destroy the world or how I could use my seat cushion as a flotation device. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> So, again we are defeated.

Heh yes, but you can hear Big Ben ring after the planet is all stuffed, if you listen closely. I wonder if that was intentional. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> -pyoko the duck It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. </div>

After watching it (again), I'm not sure which would be worse. Being at ground zero or waiting for my doom to make its way across the planet. Ground zero is probably less painful, so I'd opt for ground zero. You'd never know what hit you. Imagine watching this spectacle unfold from the ISS or shuttle. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> *** </div>

Hi qzzq, Could you imagine the terror of the ISS or Shuttle crew, knowing that they could never return. [shoked] Their altitude may save them from the impact, but they would be orbiting a lifeless & inhospitable planet. They may as well be orbiting Mercury, Venus, Mars or the Moon. <img src="/images/icons/crazy.gif" /> However, imagine the spectacle, before their oxygen & other supplies ran out. <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" /> Scary stuff. At Ground Zero, you would not know what hit you, so I would opt for that too. <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" /> Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> "I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.

They would be a neat archaeological find though; maybe life (microbial) would survive on board the ISS until some alien species drops by in a couple of million years! I don't know about the animation though: the impact of such a large body would be more energetic than depicted here I imagine. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> *** </div>

Hi qzzq, It would depend on how the Earth's Mantle would absorb it. But yes, perhaps the animation could be a little conservative. Still, gives some idea of what the consequences of an impact from a rogue dwarf planet. Chances are such a giant impact will never happen, as known potential impactors are very small (but still capable of causing mass destruction), but our Solar System is orbiting the galactic centre & may pick up a rogue dwarf planet, that could hit. Chances of such a set of circumstaces actually happening are probably many trillions to one against, so IMO it will never happen. <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /> Having said that, I think something passed through the Jupiter system approx 1 GYA causing Ganymede to temporarily become geologically active. No impact occured, but something stoked Ganymede's internal heat, back then & the most likely explanation is that the orbit temporarily changed into a somewhat more elliptical one, causing tidal flexing to occur, before the orbit settled back, due to resonances with the other Galileans (Io, Europa & Callisto). Something caused it!!! What? My guess something quite massive passed either through or close to the Jupiter system. That ould have been just over 4 Cosmic Years ago (one cosmic year equates the Sun's orbital period around the Milky Way's centre, approx 225 million years). Perhaps evidence of a related event???? MeteorWayne would be a good contributor to ask. <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /> Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> "I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.

Now that you mention it, the gravitational effects from something between the mass of the moon and Mars in even a near miss would just ruin our day. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> "2012.. Year of the Dragon!! Get on the Dragon Wagon!". </div>

If you look at that part right at two minutes though, she says that the blast would reach up thousands of kilometres and temporarily into space so the ISS might be gone too. She didn't say how long it would last though so maybe they would get lucky. Japan loves making movies about their country being destroyed. One just came out last year in fact. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> ----- http://mithridates.blogspot.com </div>

Oh, and also the video looks a bit scary at first but if you think about it the planet that fell onto Earth was also its own body with probably a few billion years of history and it was simply vaporized, while the Earth just got hot for a while and was left with a big scar. Sure, almost everything died, but as a planet Earth pretty much just shrugged it off. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> ----- http://mithridates.blogspot.com </div>

its the moral guilt of industrialized countries, you know the phoenix legend - flying too high and burning your wings... myself I would like to be far away from the epicenter and be aware that its coming to fully enjoy last minutes without any stress and totally relaxed because I would know then that nothing matters anymore, no worries about dentist or that you die old in pain or in poverty or that you never made it anywhere in world or again that you made it too far and lost your enjoyment of life in the process... if you happened to just need to go to toilet you'd make it into your pants in full comforting knowledge that it doesn't matter and you'd concentrate on reflecting on your past life, on the good parts of it that is, and on wonders of nature, of comos, while knowing all along that what's coming doesn't hurt at all, it only hurts afterwards and in period of recuperation but there would be no aftewards now, what a bliss that would be I guess you are Japanese? I didn't even try to understand the comentary LOL but that tone of voice is normal for Asians in most dramatic situations, they are sort of like Western countries in 1940s or 50s in their culture before rock and roll took over, I mean too proper and reserved if you get what I am trying to say before collision they show the planetoid to have some lines of fire like its geologically active which it wouldn't be if it was that size but whatever vanDivX <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

I tried to translate it. ------------------------------------------------------------- What one was collided about the earth and the meteorite?It simulated it. It was assumed that there was a collision in the present earth to make the size of the meteorite and the position of the collision point comprehensible. The size of the meteorite exceeds the width of The Mainland in the Japanese Islands. The fall place is the Pacific Ocean of the south 3,000 kilos in Japan. The speed of the meteorite is 70,000 kilos per hour. However, the meteorite sees eeriness too much for hugeness. ------------------------------------------------------------ The earth's crust of ten kilos in thickness where the earth's surface is composed is wholly rolled up. It is the earth's crust tidal wave. Sea of 4,000 meters in depth that pastes to the earth's crust tidal wave looks as if the film. Huge splinter with about one-kilo width is rolling. The Japanese Islands are crushed. The broken splinter pours down over surface of the earth again after piercing through height several thousand kilo and the atmosphere and reaching even space. The edge of Crater is huge like 7,000-meter in height mountain range. The diameter of Crater swallows a part from 4,000 kilos and Guam to a Chinese continent. However, this did not pass at only entrance of this misfortune. ------------------------------------------------------------ The leading part with the accident has shown up in Crater when seeing from space immediately after the collision of the meteorite. Huge mass that shines to scorching color, It is a mass of the rock by which this becomes a gas --- Rock steam. The amount of the rock that becomes a gas is about 100 trillion kilotons. It is made to be pushed out after it swells up like the dome, and it extends in all directions at a dash. After it falls on the Southern sea in Japan, the
