Sentry: Earth Impact Monitoring System
2025-01-29
Sentry is a system designed to monitor asteroids that pose a potential impact risk to Earth. By analyzing asteroid orbital data, it calculates the probability and potential consequences of an impact. The system provides information such as impact probability, energy, and date, and uses the Torino and Palermo scales to assess risk. While no currently known asteroids pose a high threat, Sentry continuously monitors and provides crucial data for planetary defense.
