[漢羅] 潛在威脅小行星 ê 軌道

小行星敢會危險？ 有一寡會。 毋閣毋管是佗一年，大部份危險 ê 小行星挵著地球 ê 機會是足少 ê。 過去因為有發生一寡 kah 小行星挵著地球有關 ê 生物大滅絕事件，這馬人類已經 kā 這當做是一件真重要 ê 代誌：揣出 未來會影響 地球性命 ê 小行星，kā 編做目錄。 這張相片是 1000 粒 潛在威脅 小行星 (PHAs) ê 軌道。 這寡資料有記錄著 超過 140 公尺闊、離地球 750 萬公里近（差不多是地球到月球 ê 20 倍距離）、leh 滾踅 ê 巨型 岩石 kah 冰角。 雖罔講 tī 紲落來 100 年猶袂有小行星 挵著地球，毋閣 毋是所有 PHAs 攏有揣著。 而且 tī 過去 100 年，足濟軌道嘛變做足歹預測 ê。 這款寸尺 ê 小行星若是 挵著地球，to̍h 會 引起足危險 ê chu-ná-mih。 為著欲揣出救地球 ê 策略，NASA ê 雙小行星重新定向測驗 (DART) 太空船，按算欲 tī 今年發射。 是講較細粒 ê 石頭 kah 冰角 逐工攏會挵著地球，毋閣 in 無啥物危險，有當時仔閣會產生 難忘 ê 火流星 kah 流星戲。

[English] Orbits of Potentially Hazardous Asteroids

Are asteroids dangerous? Some are, but the likelihood of a dangerous asteroid striking the Earth during any given year is low. Because some past mass extinction events have been linked to asteroid impacts, however, humanity has made it a priority to find and catalog those asteroids that may one day affect life on Earth. Pictured here are the orbits of the over 1,000 known Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs). These documented tumbling boulders of rock and ice are over 140 meters across and will pass within 7.5 million kilometers of Earth – about 20 times the distance to the Moon. Although none of them will strike the Earth in the next 100 years – not all PHAs have been discovered, and past 100 years, many orbits become hard to predict. Were an asteroid of this size to impact the Earth, it could raise dangerous tsunamis, for example. To investigate Earth-saving strategies, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is planned for launch later this year. Of course rocks and ice bits of much smaller size strike the Earth every day, usually pose no danger, and sometimes creating memorable fireball and meteor displays.
