About AsteroidStrike
An interactive educational platform exploring asteroid impact predictions through AI-powered machine learning models
AsteroidStrike is an educational web application designed to make complex asteroid impact physics accessible and engaging. We combine stunning visual animations with AI-powered machine learning models to help users understand what happens when asteroids collide with Earth.
Asteroid impacts are among the most dramatic events that can affect our planet, capable of causing massive destruction and reshaping landscapes. Our platform allows you to explore these phenomena safely, adjusting parameters like diameter, velocity, and angular velocity to see how they affect impact outcomes.
Whether you're a student, educator, or space enthusiast, AsteroidStrike provides an intuitive interface to explore asteroid trajectories and understand the fundamental forces that govern these cosmic threats.
Our prediction engine uses three trained machine learning models to forecast asteroid impact scenarios. The models analyze multiple factors including:
- Asteroid diameter and mass
- Entry velocity and trajectory angle
- Angular velocity and rotation
- Impact coordinates (latitude and longitude)
- Predicted blast radius
The AI models use linear regression trained on historical asteroid data to calculate impact location and blast radius. Each prediction includes a confidence score to help you understand the reliability of the forecast.
