Avoid The Asteroid | Hello, Bennu!

Team Updates

What will happen if Bennu hit the Earth!

The experts expect that bennu may hit the earth in (2135).

The atmosphere of the Earth contains a key hole …the bennu attract to these key holes which is more concentratio at the left side of the earth.

So bennu attract toward them mostly.

Wider you have the more damage you get, like the one which finished the dinosaurs off the whole world as its wide was 10 km (6 miles)

The bennu is hazardous because it’s diameter (492 m) is more than 150 m.

As the bennu become near to the atmosphere of the earth it will be destroyed into small pieces these small pieces down to the earth like a bullet from high 71900 km and with velocity 21.1 km per second.

The energy impact:

Impact will release the energy equivalent to 1450 megatons of TNT

In world war II they used the TNT of 20 kilotons “most powerful nuclear weapon also the Russian bomb “Tsar bomb” is 50 megatons of TNT.

The total energy expend during all nuclear testing through out the history is 501 megatons

So, bennu will be 3X more energy that all the history.

The earth will be largely unaffected, the result will be felt for hundred of miles with most damage conc within 10 miles of the impact site, it also create a cater of 4.62 km diameter and 469 meters depth.

Our Task is to Tell People about asteroid named Bennu,Through our IMAGINATION

There were many questions in Everybody's mind about Bennu

Where did it come from? and What will happen if Bennu hits the Earth?

So we Used our skills in direction and graphic designing to make a documentary film simulate these Questions.
