Astronomers have found that there is an "artificial object" speeding towards the moon, and this "artificial object" is not a spacecraft of an alien civilization, but a "crazy Martian" Musk from Earth.
Skew's rocket was hurtling toward the moon
In 2015, Musk's SpaceX launched the Falcon 9 rocket, and after 2 minutes and 25 seconds of launch, the first and second stage rockets of the Falcon 9 flew away, after which the first stage rocket was successfully recovered, while the second stage rocket was "abandoned" and left in space forever.
Seeing this, it is estimated that friends believe that the secondary rocket of "Falcon 9" may become space junk forever, after all, around the earth, such space waste is not a minority.
However, normally, this secondary rocket was originally going to fall into the earth's atmosphere and burn up, and at the beginning, the staff on the ground did calculate the landing site of the secondary rocket, but what people did not expect was that the secondary rocket mysteriously disappeared.
Until nearly 7 years have passed, researchers have found that the second stage rocket of "Falcon 9" has been subject to the gravitational pull of the Earth-Moon system, moving forward in a very chaotic orbit, and as for why it "lost the contract" 7 years ago, researchers also said that this is because the secondary rocket at that time was not enough fuel, resulting in it unable to crash into the earth's atmosphere as originally planned.
So, where is the ultimate attribution of this secondary rocket? This time, researchers finally figured out its route, it turned out that it actually wanted to "run to the moon", after big data analysis, the "Falcon 9" secondary rocket that has been wandering in space for 7 years will have a "big collision" with the moon on March 4.
If the collision does happen, then it will be the first event in human history in which artificial space junk hits the moon, and many astronomers, astronomers, astronomers, and astronomers, have begun to prepare to watch this "big collision".
So, is there any danger in this collision?
We all know that now the moon has become a "hot punching place" in human space activities, although there are no humans on the moon, but there are many probes, are moving forward on the moon, the most famous of which is "Jade Rabbit II", not long ago, it also just visited the "moon cabin".
So, will the collision on March 4 pose a threat to Yutu-2? Do we need to remind "Jade Rabbit II" to pay attention to safety?
The answer is no, because this secondary rocket hit the moon, it will not cause any impact, it is like a normal man-made object, or a very small meteorite hit the moon, even on the ground, we can not see the collision with the naked eye, you need to use professional observation equipment to do.
So, how big a celestial body hits the moon and poses a danger?
Speaking of which, after the moon is hit, the most harmful to the earth and humans is that the moon will be de-orbited due to the impact, but in general, it is difficult for a celestial body to achieve this goal when it collides with the moon.
After calculation, in general, at least one-thirtieth of the mass of the moon is needed to be able to deorbite the moon, and after the moon is deorbited, the earth will also have various types of extreme weather because of the departure of the moon, so that humans cannot cope, and the earth will fall into the "end" in a short period of time.
It is worth mentioning that even if there is no meteorite "fueling the waves", in fact, the moon is gradually moving away from the earth, according to the data, the moon is constantly pulling away from the earth at a distance of 3.8 centimeters per year.
However, for this matter, we do not need to worry, because researchers say that it will take at least 600 million years or so for the moon to officially leave, and the earth at that time is no longer suitable for human habitation, before that, humans may have already migrated to other planets, or may have disappeared.
So, now that the moon is gradually moving away, has it already affected us? The answer is that there is indeed an impact, but it is negligible. Researchers said that along with the principle of the moon, the earth's rotation rate is also slowing down, which also means that the day on the earth will continue to grow, but this change also needs hundreds of millions of years to be seen.
Therefore, we do not have to worry about the changes in the moon, on the contrary, many countries are planning to build bases on the moon, and the mainland and Russia are also ready to cooperate in building a "moon town", which also means that perhaps in the future, like in science fiction films, ordinary people can also travel to the moon, or even live on the moon, I have to say that this is really very exciting.
