[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] DART

My firstcar was a Dart, but yesterday's DART story was about a rocket aimed
at a comet to alter its path.  In case you are curious about the effect of
one hitting the earth here is a very interesting program that does some of
those calculations   https://impact.ese.ic.ac.uk/ImpactEarth/ImpactEffects/
By Purdue and Imperial College, London 

"Earth Impact Effects Program: an easy-to-use, interactive web site for
estimating the regional environmental consequences of an impact on Earth.
This program will estimate the ejecta distribution, ground shaking,
atmospheric blast wave, and thermal effects of an impact as well as the size
of the crater produced.

Please enter values in the boxes below to describe your impact event of
choice and your distance away. Then click "Calculate Effects" to learn about
the environmental consequences."

The software has some serious math behind it
