[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] DART

[Robert Primak]

 Some very interesting data may be coming from the Tonga event. Science always needs updating and testing of theories and models.

 John, et al,
The problem with those kinds of cdes -- no way to test it Let's see it applied to the Tonga Volcano -- we're getting lots of data to test atmospheric models

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 https://impact.ese.ic.ac.uk/ImpactEarth/ImpactEffects/effects.pdf
