Like every month the tabloid press speculates on the possible asteroids that will destroy the earth, but the largest and driest asteroid that will happen is 2009 FJ1, there is a risk of impact with it, but it is very small, in fact there is two data, on the one hand the data from the experts of the European space agency that give a possibility of impact between 1 in 3984, it is a very remote possibility and the other study is that of the center for studies of near-earth objects of the NASA giving a similar 1 in 3800 chance of impact.

This asteroid is very small, it is between 10 to 13 meters in diameter, if in the end that remote possibility occurs, that possibility between 3800 or 3900, the most certain thing is that it would end up disintegrating in the atmosphere and also over the ocean, in the worst of In all cases, if this asteroid were to enter a large city, it would end up disintegrating into the atmosphere as well and it would be something similar to what happened in the skies of Cheliabisnk in Russia in 2013.

It is good to keep an eye on it because there is a small possibility of risk, remote but there is, the possibilities as I have already said are remote but if it is confirmed its trajectory would be traced and if its objective were an inhabited area the population can be notified so that they take measures , such as not looking out the windows, seems basic but the fact is that the vast majority of those injured in Russia in Chelyabisnk were due to the shock wave that blew out the windows while they were looking at the brightness of the asteroid that had exploded.
