据星友MIKE FARMER来信:今天,亚立桑那大学月球与行星实验室Dante Lauretta把MIKE FARMER捐献的一块俄罗斯的切里亚宾斯克陨石交给了美国总统和国会,当时国会开会讨论“小星星撞击的威胁”。
Richard Kowalski告诉MIKE,如果切里亚宾斯克陨石再早几秒或再垂直一些下来,切里亚宾斯克市一百万人今天不复存在。现在是认真对待陨石的时候了。
Congratulations to Dante Lauretta of UOfA Lunar and Planetary Laboratory and Osiris-Rex mission, who presented a piece of Chelyabinsk that I donated, to President Obama and Congress today while there to discuss the threat of asteroid impact.
Chelyabinsk was almost a "City Killer" as Richard Kowalski told me yesterday, had it come in a few second earlier and steeper angle, a million people in Chelyabinsk would likely be dead today.
Time to take meteorites serious.
Michael Farmer
