Asteroid's Near Miss of Earth Undetected for 2 Days

Space Engine
  1. Space Engine is a realistic virtual Universe you can explore on your computer.
    Computer says yes: https://gravitysimulator.org/ https://spaceengine.org/ Once the mass, velocity, heading of an object is known it becomes easier to track and fine tune parameters meaning time of intersect with earth can be calculated which gives orientation of planet and entry attitude. An exact street addres | sub metre grid reference is a big ask, but the "line of breakup" arcing across a narrow slice of the planet is realistic.
