lyrics

NASA's approach to the Earth hazard problems, so far (and I think correctly) has been to focus on discovery.

You cannot deflect an object that you haven't discovered and so finding the asteroids - finding them early - is the most important thing in this process.

Torino Scale zero is where 99% of our cases fall, which means that it's just not worth any public attention, although we continue to monitor these routinely.

Torino Scale 1 means it's more than ordinary, but still not particularly alarming.

We get on average a few, maybe several Torino Scale 1 cases per year.

We have had a couple of Torino Scale 2s - we even had one Torino Scale 4, which was quite extraordinary...

...that allows us to refine the Torino Scale ratings for the object & so on. We have the impact probabilities & you can click on any one of the objects & get details & at the top level, there's a summary for each object.

The speed at which it passes the Earth is present there - & that of course is important for the impact energy - the size of the object & the Torino Scale.

Probably the best & most obvious way of deflecting an asteroid is to simply slam another space-craft into it & slow it down or speed it up if you overtake it from behind & that gives it enough change in velocity to steer it off the Earth impacting trajectory.
