Asteroids with real potential for destruction.

There are concerns especially in those topics that arouse fear, about announcements of catastrophes or threats to destroy the earth, the GOG asteroid is one of them, but it has to be explained and I believe that nothing is achieved with fear, it is better to advance in none direction, you have to be brave to move forward, you don't have to be afraid and on the subject of asteroids and comets you have to be brave.

In fact, progress is being made on this issue, it is a risk, yes, it is a real threat, yes, but not as some catastrophists paint it, I don't know if I should call it that, j.j. Benítez as he is more popularly known, a writer who has sold millions of books, specifically he has written a book titled "GOG begins the countdown"; the book is about an asteroid that would hit the earth in the year 2027 and I had this topic as good as a science fiction book like any other.

The problem is that j.j. Benítez paints it in his interviews as if it were a real advertisement, and I quote the writer

“assuming it is true, I hope I am wrong in 2027, according to my news, an asteroid of about 24 kilometers in length would arrive from GOG, this object will impact the Atlantic and cause a situation where the current pandemic would be a children's thing at his side, he calculated that within 48 hours there would be approximately 1.2 billion deaths,"

the journalist says, taking into account the magnitude of the asteroid,

"but the second part would come later, as a result from that impact in the Bermuda area a magma slide would be caused, that would give rise to the volcanic eruption of Indonesia in its entirety", 90 volcanoes would erupt, the ash would darken the sun for nine years”

is what jj declares Benitez

Starting with Indonesia, I think that taking into account the place he cites, the volcanoes of the mid-Atlantic ridge would be more worrying, including Iceland, Azores and the Canary Islands, in addition 90 volcanoes are few, Benítez falls short, on average there are about 50 volcanoes active in the world, over the past year, for example, 68 erupted and on average and every day about a dozen erupt somewhere on the planet, so 90 volcanoes is not enough.

As for the other data on an impact of an asteroid of that size, well yes, one of 24 kilometers would cause a lot of damage, it would be almost a destroyer, not a total destroyer, but life on this planet would be extremely damaged, let us remember that the asteroid supposedly because there are still theories that affirm that there could have been other circumstances such as volcanic eruptions and other catastrophes, which destroyed the dinosaurs well, it is estimated that it was only 11 kilometers in diameter.

Let's go to the concrete, to the real thing, is there an asteroid of 24 kilometers or a similar size that poses a risk to the earth, the quick answer is no, not because the data is public, it can be consulted in the table of objects close to the earth and anyone who has a probability of impact even if it is very small of 1 in 100,000 a website appears on that site.

All these data are available for people to see and they are not hidden and it is also that the data of large asteroids, because we are talking about a large asteroid, have been known for many years, no one in their right mind hide information only the arrival of an asteroid, we are closer to being able to deflect an asteroid than to destroy a hurricane.

there are about 887 asteroids that are more than a kilometer long, the good news is that practically all of them have been discovered, from time to time a new one appears that is added to these 887, but none of these 887 pose a danger to us in the near future 100 or 200 years.
