The end of life on Earth?

It weighed about 10,000 tons, entered the atmosphere at a speed of 64,000km/h and exploded over
a city with a blast of 500 kilotons. But on 15 February 2013, we were lucky. The meteorite that
showered pieces of rock over Chelyabinsk, Russia, was relatively small, at only about 17 metres
wide. Although many people were injured by falling glass, the damage was nothing compared to
what had happened in Siberia nearly one hundred years ago. Another relatively small object
(approximately 50 metres in diameter) exploded in mid-air over a forest region, flattening about 80
million trees. If it had exploded over a city such as Moscow or London, millions of people would have
been killed.
By a strange coincidence, the same day that the meteorite terrified the people of Chelyabinsk,
another 50m-wide asteroid passed relatively close to Earth. Scientists were expecting that visit and
know that the asteroid will return to fly close by us in 2046, but the Russian meteorite earlier in the
day had been too small for anyone to spot.
Most scientists agree that comets and asteroids pose the biggest natural threat to human existence.
It was probably a large asteroid or comet colliding with Earth which wiped out the dinosaurs about
65 million years ago. An enormous object, 10 to 16km in diameter, struck the Yucatan region of
Mexico with the force of 100 megatons. That is the equivalent of one Hiroshima bomb for every
person alive on Earth today.
Many scientists, including the late Stephen Hawking, say that any comet or asteroid greater than
20km in diameter that hits Earth will result in the complete destruction of complex life, including all
animals and most plants. As we have seen, even a much smaller asteroid can cause great damage.
The Earth has been kept fairly safe for the last 65 million years by good fortune and the massive
gravitational field of the planet Jupiter. Our cosmic guardian, with its stable circular orbit far from

5
the sun, sweeps up and scatters away most of the dangerous comets and asteroids which might
cross Earth’s orbit. After the Chelyabinsk meteorite, scientists are now monitoring potential hazards
even more carefully but, as far as they know, there is no danger in the foreseeable future.
Types of space rocks
Comet – a ball of rock and ice that sends out a tail of gas and dust behind it. Bright comets only
appear in our visible night sky about once every ten years.
Asteroid – a rock a few feet to several kms in diameter. Unlike comets, asteroids have no tail. Most
are too small to cause any damage and burn up in the atmosphere, appearing as ‘shooting stars’.
Meteoroid – part of an asteroid or comet.
Meteorite – what a meteoroid is called when it hits Earth.

pure luck early warning systems set up by NASA
luck and the planet Jupiter luck and our position in relation to the sun

2.13) Scientists say ____ .

meteorites are likely to hit Earth we are not in any danger for the moment

- > fill the gaps with the correct words from the box

wiped out flattened cause injured spot cross struck monitor

When the meteorite exploded on 15 February 2013, many people were injured (hurt) by falling
glass. The explosion of another small object flattened (made flat) many trees. Scientists weren't
expecting the Russian meteorite because it had been too small for anyone to spot (see or notice). It
was probably a large asteroid colliding with Earth that wiped out (made extinct) the dinosaurs. 65
million years ago, an enormous object struck (hit) the Yucatan region of Mexico with a force of 100
megatons. Even a much smaller asteroid can cause (do) a lot of damage. Jupiter protects Earth by

7
diverting away the dangerous comets and asteroids that might cross (pass from one side to the
other of) Earth's orbit. Scientists will now monitor (observe or check regularly over a period of time)
potential hazards even more carefully.
