Estimating the NEO Population and Impact Risk: Past, Present and Future . ... Since most of the risk resides in the largest impactors, finding that fraction of the largest bodies, and that none of them has a significant chance of impacting in the next century or so, "retires" more than 90 % of the impact risk, including most of the risk of a globally catastrophic impact event. ... In the mid-size range, from ~150 m to ~1 km, the main risk is from tsunami generated by an ocean impact. ...

Authors: Yu.G. Shevelev , V.A. Marsakov , . ... We have constructed and investigated properties of metallicity function of disk stars with different ages, proceeding from the statistically restored real altitude distributions of stars at the solar galactocentric distance. It is shown that the metallicity distribution of stars in each age range is not of Gaussian form, but it may be considered as a superposition of two normal distributions centered at -0.2 and 0.0 dex. ...

... This makes spatial event selection very hard of even impossible in cases where the object is too faint to clearly stand out against the X-ray background. movecalc takes an event table with aspect corrected X / Y coordinate columns (as generated by task attcalc ) and adds two new columns X_MOV / Y_MOV (different names can be specified via parameters xmovcol / ymovcol ) containing the corresponding coordinates in a reference frame that is centered on the moving object at all times. ...

The radius of the event horizon of a black hole with the mass of the Sun would be about 3 kilometers, about the same size as your city, town or village.
