What If Halley's Comet Crashed Into the Moon?
What If Halley's Comet Crashed Into the Moon?
There’s a giant, peanut-shaped object orbiting the Sun, and it’s name is Halley’s comet. Like all comets, it’s a cosmic mashup of frozen ice, gases, and dust. Stretching a vast 15 kilometres by 8 kilometres (9 miles by 5 miles), this space snowball streaks by Earth every 76 years and has been circling for 16,000 years. It hasn’t caused us any trouble yet, but that would change if its elliptical return crosses paths with our Moon, causing a devastating collision visible in broad daylight. Would it affect space exploration? How much damage would it do to the Moon? What would happen on Earth?

There’s magma on the moon?
pov: your crushes name is halley 😃😂
I’ll be 61 let’s go out with a bang 🤘🏾
What if the Moon crashed into Halleys comet instead? 🤔
Dude i love your channel. thank you for making these i love learning about them
He had a great sacrifice.
What if an asteroid was bigger than our sun
Schools will remain open
It’s impossible for a 15 km comet to do such damage……. Bring some sense in your videos…….. Moon is much much much bigger than that tiny comet
Coming back, from 2122, I warned my good friend Stephen Hawking about this when I attended his beautiful party. We had a great talk, and we discussed the fact that Apaphos would be discovered and it would impact on the Northern peninsula not in 2029, but in the beginning of 2030. A slight miscalculation and a pull from the sun, caused it to slow, and change the trajectory.
Unfortunately, my good friend, Dr. Hawking passed away before we could do much work on the subject.
All I can tell you, is it will not be an extinction level event, however the ones that are prepared will survive.
Unfortunately for myself, I am unable to return to my time, as this was a one-way trip.
Good luck to everyone, and God bless.
Watching here Rising star meline
I truly hope that it happens very soon!!!!!!!!!
You have a video about a giant ball of ice hitting the moon and melting I think and global flooding but I can’t find it and it’s been bugging me.
MOON WILL GET RINGS
METEORS! TSKE EVASIVE ACTION!
*Proceeds do run straight into the firing zone*
Halley Comet:*Colllide in 2208 in Mars
Halley Comet:*Collide in 2061 in Earth
So if a throw a peanut on the floor i will die, alright.
What’s the Hailey’s Call Matt?
Hell n9
Last pass of the comet was around 200 times further from the earth than moon is.
*We wouldn’t need to mine the Moon because the materials would come straight to us.*
yeah i seen a movie and the meteor hit the moon too and than the moon get closer to the Earth
2:40 yay zathura i watched that
4:55 length video about the comet hits the Moon and we saw virtually nothing interesting
How about a video on what if our solar system was the only thing in the universe?
Now what if Hale-bopp crashed into the moon?
When you realize Jupiter only protects planets
I remember seeing it the last time it was here. I am too old now to see the next one.
Imagine a penut wiping out all human on earth😂
I’m the most recent 🙃
one thing: the moon if impacted by hailey’s comet
the moon: *i do not care*
I have a question, if halleys comet crashed into the moon does that mean there will be no more halleys comet in the future since it cant come back? Will another one be created?
Dont give them ideas
how deep would these bunkers need to be? base it on worst case scenario
Well… After watching Greenland… huh
Thanks for the camera man for traveling to the moon and orbit and look at the dirty snowball
2022 / 3000 give a like
one of my dreams – Watching hayley’s comet……..Hope this will come true
Here because of the Simpsons.
The moon has no magma , at least not in a fusion state . The moon has solidified almost after its creation like inside a 200 million years period after its creation . The only Magma you would see after the impact would be the one created by the impact itself
You should do a what if about Pluto hitting earth I would appreciate it I am a huge solar system fanatic I am a nerd
All of this my ass.
What if Halley’s comet hits Mars

What if🤔🤔🤔 what 🤔🤔🤔🤔, We live on the mercy of nature or whoever created them.
Earth: hello Halley
Halley: sorry gotta run
Moon: Halley watch out.
Earth: moon noooo!!!!
R.I.P Moon
I’ve dreamed about this a ridiculous amount of times every year…
If somenthing hits Russia, China, India, or Africa no one rly would care i see after that more space for tree’s
What if this planet hit the tereformed Mars?
No one can escape from the Gods wrath🔥🔥🔥
