To answer this question, we decided to contact the Argentine astronomer and scientist-divulgador Diego

Bagú.

In reality, an object of that size would be impossible to impact our planet because the solar system is already being studied in terms of large objects.

Now, probabilistically, it is for sure that we can say that at some point the Earth will receive a considerable impact.

The question is never if it is possible, but when.

There are hundreds of thousands of objects that exist rotating in the solar system and that is why it is very important to have in mind the programs that track these objects in the sky, as well as develop programs to mitigate a possible impact in the future.

In any case, we should not worry about a medium-term future because the considerable objects in terms of size that could threaten the existence of life on Earth through an impact, none of them poses a danger in terms of their routes through the solar system.

So we asked Professor Bagou about this peculiar space rock.
