Keep Tabs On Asteroids With Asteroid Atlas | Hackaday
The software is largely based on Python and uses a number of databases from NASA to allow anyone with a computer to explore various maps of the solar system and the planetary and non-planetary bodies within it.
The code that [elanorlutz] has created is quite extensive and ready to use for anyone interested in tracking comets, trans-Neptunian objects, or even planets and moons from their own computer.
Half-giraffe-sized asteroid hits Earth, according to the Daily Mail | Boing Boing

Don't look up! Winston-Salem is ground zero for simulated asteroid strike | Local | greensboro.com
Winston-Salem, where the space rock is expected to unleash explosive energy hundreds of times more powerful than the atomic bomb the U.S. dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, at the end of World War II and leave destruction over a 20-square-mile area.
We pause here in our account of impending Armageddon for an important note: THIS IS ONLY A DRILL!

In school, we learn that Earth has a layered structure: crust, mantle and core (inner and outer). Billions of years ago, as Earth and other planets were forming, collisions between solid bodies were more frequent than today.
