Torino Impact Hazard Scale 3D Explorer vs alternatives
Torino Impact Hazard Scale 3D Explorer animates three real historical cases side by side on one 0-10 band grid so a reader can compare Apophis's two ratings and 2023 DW's rating at a glance - a printed IAU reference table wins as a fixed citable list of every band's definition; NASA JPL's CNEOS Sentry page wins for today's live, continuously updated risk assessments.
| Option | Strength | Access | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torino Impact Hazard Scale 3D Explorer (this page) | Animated beacon-color and band-grid comparison across three real historical cases in one 3D scene | Free, in browser | Fixed historical snapshots, not a live feed of current CNEOS Sentry risk data |
| Printed IAU reference table | Fixed, citable list of every band's exact definition | Reference texts/papers | No animated comparison of how one object's rating changed over time |
| NASA JPL CNEOS Sentry page | Live, continuously updated risk assessments for every tracked object | Free, official source | No 3D teaching visualization of the historical Apophis/2023 DW cases |
Key published figures
| Figure | Value |

Why trust these tools
- Ten-plus years of web tooling. The freetoolonline editorial team has shipped browser-based utilities since 2015. The goal has never changed: get you to a working output fast, without an install.
