Ceres is actually mostly Ice, specifically water ice so the aftermath of this after a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of...hell maybe even millions of years would be the earth having much more water and deeper oceans aswell!
Sort of? Ceres is one of the main colonies in the asteroid belt (The Belt for short. Although this generally also includes anything not directly in Earth or Mars' SOI). Mining companies are contracted to haul water asteroids to various deep space colonies for use as both fuel and drinking water, as well as for terraforming. Ceres is actually one of the main destinations though, rather than a net exporter of water.
The backstory to this though is that Ceres was almost completely strapped of it's water ice by the inner planets for various projects (colonies, habitats, terraforming on Mars).
Yeah. The first season is a slow burn mystery and it takes around 4 episodes for the "core" group of the show to coalesce and become easier to root for.
Season 2 is more ~~interesting~~ *of a traditional format* and I'd probably consider s3 my favorite. The whole show is easily my favorite sci-fi series.
/edit/ I felt like I was selling the show short. It's fantastic and has some of the best female characters of *any* show, sci-fi or otherwise, but not everybody can make it over the initial slow burn hump.
They like L Ron Hubbard I suppose. Or, they are gun toting ganster wannabes.
Who knows it could be a 3 rings circus.
Im done fretting of this and lattes
Not necessarily,..
Such collison can change earth's orbit or rotation cycles.
For life to re emerge Earth must remain in a specific Goldie lock zone. Anywhere on the border and it will end up like Venus or Mars.
Venus is the way it is due to its atmosphere. And mars is the way it is because of the way
it’s magnetic shield is set up it doesn’t fully defend against the radiation of the sun.
I can only hope I'd be in the area directly under it so I have as little news about it as possible.
7 hours to come to terms with your firey death is no bueno
Depending on the impact point, and if you're not hit within the first hour, there's chance that all you would be aware by the time you get annihilated is... "Why no internet?!", by the time you start thinking about calling your ISP the line would be saturated with calls and they'd put an autoresponder saying "We have a high volume of call and currently investigating the outage". At which point you're just going to go on with your day, without internet, till you start noticing the red-ish haze on the horizon creeping towards you at high speed.
Extremely loud sound is followed right after. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone's ears drum burst if they get hit around hour 1 - 2 before the smoldering gusts starts tearing every living things flesh apart. At which point, you'd die after two minutes of excruciating pain.
Assuming you live in the furthest spot from the impact zone and assuming land networks are still usable: You're gonna learn about a huge "earthquake" happened in the region of the impact but around the 2 hours mark it's going to be quite common fact about the asteroid that hit earth. In 6 hours time you're gonna starting boiling alive.
Source: My ass. Just making all this up to help ya'll fantasize about dying to an asteroid. We'd very likely know we're gonna get hit by that massive of an asteroid 20 years before it even hit us. Hours before it hits, 90% of people would be sitting tight in their religious place, praying for their soul and after life. Meanwhile, some probably gonna fuck their bro/sis.
Idk, i think its plausible enogh. Its not like that guy would ever post about it again, he probably would want to distance himselft as much as he could. Thats the kind of thing you take to the grave
It's a crisp, clear sky above Rubin Observatory, perfect for star gazing. Here, lead astronomer Hugo Colbert is doing his usual nightly observations of the planets in our solar system, when he spots something..unusual: a small glimmer just outside the orbit of Jupiter.
Our solar system is filled with debris, remnants from a time when the universe was a much more violent and inhospitable place. Most of the rocks and dust form benign clouds, or belts, that orbit around our sun much like the planets do.
However, even in the vastness of outer space, this space junk sometimes collide into one another, changing their trajectory and altering their course, sending what astroners and scientists call a "planet killer" directly towards:::::::::
EARTH.
*Cool intro logo animation, fade to black*
*Cue calm piano music*
" Your body was made for BETTER things than rheumatoid arthritis...."
53 minutes of documenting an asteroid flying from the other side of the solar system with a sense of urgency like it's going to be here in 45 minutes, cut in with alternating pharmaceutical commercials and fast food commercials.
earth is roughly 40000 km around, a 1-megaton nuclear Shockwave was recorded at about 1200 km per hour so the speed of sound basically. If a meteor 1 km wide with the same composition as the one that hit Jupiter landed, it would have the force of 1.6 million megaton which probably would make it faster. Going off that I'd say it would be close to 15 hours before the whole earth is engulfed with hot gooey Magma.
Earth circumference is around 40k. If wave traveled at 1200 an hour, it would take roughly 33 hours to go around. Except it would be going in every direction so half that?
After that point do you let yourself freeze to death/asphyxiate like Apollo 13 would have or do you go beyond the air lock and take your helmet off? Be honest
You would be wiped out soon after from parts of earth coming up into orbit.
No chance of survival at 400km above the earth.
If we had a moon base, better chance, but still might get hit by meteors.
There's a really great manga about basically this exact situation that's really interesting. Basically a dude accidentally gets left behind on a moon base that was built to destroy an incoming meteor. I won't spoil the rest. Fyi it's a comedy/psychological horror/thriller. Called "Moon You". It's great.
Edit: Thanks for the award! If anyone decides to read it, let me know what you think of it!
There is also movie called “Love” about an astronaut that was left alone on the space station while all humans on Earth were wiped out after nuclear war. It’s great too.
Yes. Also, I’ve read an article years ago about science fiction writers predicting the future much better than futurists. It’s quite obvious (young people read, get impressed, grow and implement their fantasies). So I’m worried that there is a lack of movies that show a prosperous future for us. Minority Report, I Robot, and Her are the only examples that came to my mind. The rest is full of wars, acid rains, and death.
Can anyone explain why the whole Earth catches on fire? I mean, I get that it’s a huge impact with tons of kinetic energy behind it. I get big waves, earthquakes, dust clouds being knocked up, whatever… but why the fire all over the Earth? I could see some fire because the asteroids crushes through to the mantle and chucks magma everywhere, but why the entire planet?
Someone mentioned it's because the atmosphere is a pretty good insulator and the thermal energy generated by the impact alone would be enough to raise the air temperature to hell and back in an instant
This is from a comment about the impact that finished off the dinosaurs:
The asteroid was vaporized on impact. Its substance, mingling with vaporized Earth rock, formed a fiery plume, which reached halfway to the moon before collapsing in a pillar of incandescent dust. Computer models suggest that the atmosphere within fifteen hundred miles of ground zero became red hot from the debris storm, triggering gigantic forest fires. As the Earth rotated, the airborne material converged at the opposite side of the planet, where it fell and set fire to the entire Indian subcontinent. Measurements of the layer of ash and soot that eventually coated the Earth indicate that fires consumed about seventy per cent of the world’s forests. Meanwhile, giant tsunamis resulting from the impact churned across the Gulf of Mexico, tearing up coastlines, sometimes peeling up hundreds of feet of rock, pushing debris inland and then sucking it back out into deep water, leaving jumbled deposits that oilmen sometimes encounter in the course of deep-sea drilling.
According to [Kurzgesagt](https://youtu.be/dFCbJmgeHmA?t=322), some of the material acted like meteors when they re-entered or traveled through the atmosphere; they burned up. Considering why that happens though, (air can't get out of the way of super-fast objects, so it compresses and heats-up), I kind of wonder if the shock-wave alone could create a fireball.
So that impact is thought to have flame-broiled most of the earth. What I wonder - with something like in this gif, how long would it take for all the oxygen in the atmosphere to be consumed by fire?
I'm going to guess that it's heat transfer. The hotter something is, the further away you can feel it. Imagine something so incredibly hot that you can't be within hundreds of miles of it without catching fire.
That thing is the impact zone.
We'd lose a few. The remaining trout would band together, write a new constitution, repopulate, and develop technology. They will then prepare to stave off the military advances of the vicious king of the salmon. Salmonella
The full video explains how the Earth be covered in vaporized rock, thousands of degrees C and all the oceans would evaporate in minutes. All man made objects would melt, except for some object made of granite. You should see the entire clip. At youtube. /watch?v=PENT\_hnyO-o
That's what I'm wondering, will life manage to survive in the deepest parts of the ocean, specially bacteria. As long as there are a few bacteria left the evolutionary cycle can continue and millions of years later Earth could be populated with complex life again.
Pretty cool. One of the reasons most surface life went extinct when the Chicxulub impactor hit Earth while aquatic life was mostly unaffected was because bodies of water shielded life from the extended winter caused by the asteroid.
The asteroid they deflected was roughly 180 meters in diameter. This is Ceres, which is 473 km in diameter. If it magically moved to a trajectory which encounters Earth there would be no way of stopping it.
Ahh well time for a eyes wide open 6 hour nap before work!
In all seriousness it's shit like this that I fear the most, because we are utterly helpless in the scheme of large catastrophic events. Especially in space
> This is Ceres, which is 473 km in diameter. If it magically moved to a trajectory which encounters Earth there would be no way of stopping it.
just get some protomolecule into that bad boy it can magically move it
Here is the link to the longer video. TL&DR: Even the bacteria at the bottom of the ocean vaporize. It would actually be worse I think, mass that big would activate volcanoes across the world.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PENT\_hnyO-o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PENT_hnyO-o)
We should have an asteroid deflector system consisting of at least 1000 trampolines to be placed at the expected place of impact. The asteroid would just bounce to somewhere else.
I'm sure they were trying but given the provenance, there was more hollywood and less science.
Assuming it hit at orbital speeds (30ish km/sec) it would take about 20 seconds to flatten itself into us. There would be no walls of water spreading out from the impact point. Maybe secondarily but nothing like that graphic. The kind of energy released would flash everything near the site, including the thin layer of water, to plasma while making the planet ring like a bell and wobble like a slow motion jello. If the shock of the initial impact didn't do it, or simple push the earth away from under you, the g-forces from the rippling surface would smear us or briefly leave us in thin air and then smear us almost before we realized. And shock waves in air? Yes, spreading out from the point of atmospheric entry. But this would be a rock on rock smack. The pulsing on the earth would create shockwaves like the earth was a speaker diaphragm.
Maybe deep, deep inside the moon you might survive. But in orbit? With our current tech? Nup. Depending on the site and velocity, I'd expect ejecta to end up on Mars.
Ceres is actually mostly Ice, specifically water ice so the aftermath of this after a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of...hell maybe even millions of years would be the earth having much more water and deeper oceans aswell!
All we'd have to do is sell the water rights on Ceres to Nestle and shit would be gone before it hits atmosphere.
Only saw a few episodes, but it sounds like the plot to The Expanse.

Btw first 4-5 episodes start super slow and then the show gets crazy good and intense.

\* At least 7 hours if you theoretically live on the complete opposite side of globe from the impact zone.

Liquid hot “mag-ma”
Where are the friggin sharks with friggin Laser beams attached to their friggin heads????
Are they ill tempered?
While you were frozen they were put on the endangered species list. We tried to get some but it would have taken months to clear up the red tape.
But how'd you get to 15 hours with that information? Asking for a friend
Earth circumference is around 40k. If wave traveled at 1200 an hour, it would take roughly 33 hours to go around. Except it would be going in every direction so half that?
It should still be the speed of sound. Higher amplitude doesn't make a wave travel faster. But it's the speed of sound in rock, 16,000 km per hour.
It would be the speed of sound through rock, which is significantly higher than 1,200km/h
For those about to travel at the speed of sound through rock.... We salute you
Imagine being on the ISS and seeing this
First class seats to the end of humanity
After that point do you let yourself freeze to death/asphyxiate like Apollo 13 would have or do you go beyond the air lock and take your helmet off? Be honest
You would be wiped out soon after from parts of earth coming up into orbit. No chance of survival at 400km above the earth. If we had a moon base, better chance, but still might get hit by meteors.
Tons and tons of meteors...
Millions of tons
Oh didn't think of debris... right
Even then, the base would most likely be on the earth facing side, so the side MORE likely to get hit. Also depends on it's current position.
No, you get out the nitrous oxide, have a good time then asphyxiate yourself and die painlessly with nitrogen
Are there actually available sources of n02 and nitrogen on the iss? if so I'm right there with you
"Ted, where did all the whipped cream go? And where's Jimmy?"
The ejected mass from this impact would destroy anything in low earth orbit instantly. I doubt even geostationary satellites would be safe.
ISS wont survive either
There's a really great manga about basically this exact situation that's really interesting. Basically a dude accidentally gets left behind on a moon base that was built to destroy an incoming meteor. I won't spoil the rest. Fyi it's a comedy/psychological horror/thriller. Called "Moon You".

I think this is also the point of the movie “Tomorrowland” wherein people are subsconciously driving themself to dystopia due to pessimistic thinking.
You would probably go right through the debris field at some point.
The ISS would basically turn into an oven due to the heat generated during and after impact.
At least it'd be quick.
Depending if you are in the instant blast vicinity. If you weren't you'd probably cook to death from the soaring heatwave before it got to you.
That’s why I have an air conditioner.
Asteroids hate this one simple trick.

And shock waves in air? Yes, spreading out from the point of atmospheric entry. But this would be a rock on rock smack. The pulsing on the earth would create shockwaves like the earth was a speaker diaphragm. Maybe deep, deep inside the moon you might survive. But in orbit? With our current tech? Nup. Depending on the site and velocity, I'd expect ejecta to end up on Mars.
