The same of it hitting Washington D.C.
Comment on Asteroid’s chances of hitting Earth in 2032 just got higher – but don’t panic

What are the odds that if it hits the Earth it would hit Moscow? Asking for my friends.

The impact risk corridor isn’t anywhere near Russia.

I’m confused how they can be so certain where it will hit but not if. I would think basically that while side of the planet is within the region of uncertainty. I guess it’s probably because they can define the orbit in a plane rather precisely, but within that plane, other axes are more difficult to get precision numbers on.

Pretty sure I am in the “survived the initial impact, now get to suffer.”

I guess it depends of the point of reference. I would say that looks pretty close to Russia.
