2013 virtual impactor
[edit]No AI knows what a "2013 virtual impactor" even is. What is it? A tool? An event? An object? 162.207.203.26 (talk) 14:49, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Since the asteroid has a short observation arc and the uncertainty in the orbit of the asteroid intersects Earth's orbit, simulations could not rule-out the asteroid and Earth being at the same point in space on 2 October 2013. Obviously Earth was not impacted by a 300-meter asteroid on 2 October 2013. -- Kheider (talk) 16:07, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
- That is not quite an answer. Is a possible future impact also a "virtual impactor"? Does "virtual" here mean "potential"? Is "impactor" here a synonym of "impact", rather than of the falling rock? —Tamfang (talk) 05:11, 28 November 2025 (UTC)
