NASA has launched a new monitoring of asteroid collisions with Earth. Now the system more accurately calculates the probability of a dangerous approach. The result of complex calculations can be seen on a separate website, the Izvestia TV channel reports. Asteroids and stars are visible on the resource with 3D visualization. The data is constantly updated, the real picture is displayed. The previous NASA system worked for almost 20 years. In less than an hour, it was possible to get the probability of a collision with our planet over the next 100 years.
