00:00Meanwhile, when the asteroid suddenly appeared in the sky in Cagayan earlier this morning,
00:06let's talk to Mr. Mario Raimundo, the head of Astronomical Publication and Planetarium Unit of Pag-asa.
00:14Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
00:17Yes, good morning to all the viewers of your program.
00:23Balitang Hali.
00:24Yes, Balitang Hali.
00:25What does it mean for an asteroid to enter the Earth's atmosphere?
00:31Well, the period of discovery and the point of entry to Earth that we call 2024 RW1 asteroid is too near.
00:42Now, this asteroid is said to be, by history and data, a pantheon.
00:49There are many kinds of asteroids that are located between planets Mars and Jupiter.
00:55Most of them are pantheons.
01:02But not all of them are pantheons.
01:06Those that are discovered will enter the atmosphere.
01:09And so, they predicted that its orbital period here in the Philippines, in the northern tip of the Philippines,
01:16their prediction is almost accurate because based on the videos that I see now,
01:23that you posted on Facebook, this is more or less 1240.
01:28So, the real thing that they see is not the defunct satellite.
01:33This is the real thing that entered the atmosphere.
01:35This is what we call an asteroid.
01:37I see. Okay.
01:38But the European Space Agency said that it should not be afraid because it is harmless.
01:44Is that correct?
01:45Yes, because its characteristic is an explosion in the high atmosphere.
01:50It means that an asteroid like METEORS,
01:54because it enters our atmosphere, it burns.
01:59And so, if it is in excess of fusion, it will suddenly explode.
02:05Okay.
02:06Now, most of them will not be able to enter our atmosphere
02:10because that is when it explodes, especially when it is small.
02:13Is there... Yes. Sorry, go ahead.
02:15And if someone can survive during that fragmentation,
02:19because it exhibits a terminal flask, a bright terminal flask,
02:23if someone can survive the fragmentation,
02:27and our countrymen can see it,
02:29this is what we call METEORITE, which is slide-out
02:32because I think if someone can survive, they can go to the sea and explode.
02:36I see. Okay.
02:37But will there be similar events in the near future?
02:41There definitely will be
02:43because we have billions of pieces of what we call asteroids
02:47in between Mars and Jupiter.
02:50Of course, the so-called near-Earth object
02:56is what we call ATIS and APOLOS.
02:59Those are Earth-crossers.
03:00Yes.
03:01So definitely, there's a time when those will visit planet Earth.
03:07But of course, the question is when?
03:10That's right.
03:11So that's what our astronomers should pay attention to.
03:14Thank you very much for sharing our information, Mr. Mario Raymundo
03:18of Astronomical Publication and Planetary Unit ng Pag-asa.
