I-asteroid yegolide ingase iguqule ikusasa labantu futhi ibenze bacebe

Inkanyezi yegolide... Ngabe sizovalelisa ebuphofini... Ephusheni elifana nephupho, wonke umuntu emhlabeni angase abe usozigidigidi uma umkhankaso we-US space agency (NASA) uphumelela ukuthola inkanyezi equkethe isamba esikhulu igolide.

Uthe i-asteroid yatholwa ngasekupheleni kwekhulu leshumi nesishiyagalolunye, ephawula ukuthi itholakala phakathi kwemizila yeMars neJupiter futhi yenziwe ngensimbi eqinile.

Futhi, kukholelwa ukuthi i-asteroid iqukethe, ngaphezu kwegolide, inani elikhulu le-platinum, insimbi ne-nickel.

Inani elikhulu lensimbi

Kulinganiselwa ukuthi izimbiwa ezahlukene zikaSeiki zibiza u-8000 quadrillion pounds sterling, okusho ukuthi uma zibuyiselwa eMhlabeni, zingacekela phansi intengo yempahla nokuholela ekuweni komnotho womhlaba.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-NASA yathi umkhumbi-mkhathi owabelwe kulo msebenzi uzosebenza izinyanga ezingu-21 ukuze udwebe imephu futhi ucwaninge izakhiwo ezingu-16 zesibhakabhaka kusetshenziswa umshini wokuthwebula izithombe onama-multispectral, i-gamma-ray neutron spectrometer, i-magnetometer, nomsakazo (ukukala amandla adonsela phansi). ))
