A newly identified near-Earth asteroid, "Impactor-2025," poses a potential threat. Do we have the tools to enable the public and decision-makers to understand and mitigate its risks? Our challenge is to develop an interactive visualization and simulation tool that uses real data to help users model asteroid impact scenarios, predict consequences, and evaluate potential mitigation strategies.
Use the simulator below to model a potential impact scenario. Adjust the asteroid's size and velocity to see the estimated effects.
Adjust the parameters and click "Simulate Impact" to see the results.
