How this service works
Torino scale levels explained, or the Palermo scale value from impact probability, energy in megatons and years until impact.
Output
Returns either a textual explanation of one or all Torino scale levels (including summary, verdict, and disclaimer), or a computed Palermo scale value with supporting details including background probability, background rate per year, ratio to background, and band classification — along with source, date, and any degraded/not-checked flags.
Example use cases
Explaining Torino scale to curious user
“Can you explain what a Torino scale level 4 means — is that something we should be worried about?”
Palermo scale computation for discovered asteroid
“I'm tracking an asteroid with a 0.1% chance of hitting Earth in 75 years and an estimated impact energy of 1000 megatons. What's the Palermo scale value for that?”
Listing all Torino scale levels
“Can you give me a rundown of all Torino scale levels from 0 to 10 and what each one means for the threat level?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://space-objects.x402tookit.com/impact-scales?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, formula-driven interpretations of asteroid impact risk scales — either to explain what a Torino level means in plain language, or to compute a Palermo scale value from raw orbital mechanics inputs (probability, energy, time). Prefer this over general astronomy APIs when the specific output is a risk-scale value or explanation rather than raw orbital data.
Side effects
- Missing required mode parameters: if neither 'torino' nor the Palermo trio (probability, energyMt, yearsUntil) is provided, the response may be ambiguous or return an error
- Out-of-range values: Torino must be 0-10; energyMt must be 0.001 to 1e8; yearsUntil must be 0.01 to 1000; probability must be above 0 and up to 1
- Partial Palermo parameters: providing only some of the three Palermo inputs without the others may result in a degraded or error response
- Payment failure: x402 payment of $0.02 USDC not completed, resulting in 402 status
