#Asteroids extreme size upgrade#

The compositions of asteroids are very similar to those of meteorites and this has led to the idea that meteorites originated in the asteroid belt. Most asteroids, however, are small objects only a few kilometres across. Pallas and Vesta (the only asteroid at all visible to the naked eye) have diameters of about 500 km and 30 more asteroids have diameters greater than 200 km.

The largest asteroid is Ceres, it is 1003 km in diameter. Tensions rise as the asteroid field becomes more dense and alien rivals begin to take notice of. Risk and reward is the name of the game when it comes to crystal mining.

Asteroids exist in two main areas around the Sun, the first is the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter and the second is in the kuiper belt outside the. The large majority of known asteroids orbit in the asteroid belt between. Those that come close to Earth are known as Near Earth Objects. site that monitors them is known as I.A.U. Occasionally, a larger fragment will fail to burn up completely and when it hits the ground it is called a meteorite. Asteroids Extreme is a fast-paced, top-down, arcade-style asteroid mining adventure. Asteroids are also referred to as Minor Planets and the I.A.U. Certain times of the year are known for spectacular displays and these are generally associated with comets that have passed by after spewing fragments in their wake. Meteors and meteoritesĪ meteor is a piece of space debris that burns up as it enters the earth’s atmosphere creating a ‘shooting star’.

As these substances stream off the comet they form a spectacular gas and dust cloud of enormous length that can often be seen from earth with the naked eye. Generally speaking, a comet is a frozen ball (of water, carbon dioxide, ammonia and other organic carbon compound ices) hurtling through space.
