Life and family

In 1970 Andrea Milani Comparetti completed his mathematics studies at the University of Milan and later at the Scuola normal di Pisa . He was a member of the SIMCA (Società Italiana di Meccanica Celeste e Astrodinamica) and the International Astronomical Union . He researched celestial mechanics , asteroids , objects near the earth and the BepiColombo mission. Milani was an expert on possible impacts on earth . As part of a study in 2009, he calculated a series of possible collisions between the potentially dangerous asteroid (101955) Bennu and Earth in the period from 2169 to 2199. The probability of an impact there depends on the physical properties of the asteroid that were not sufficiently known until then, but it was below 0.07%. [obsolete] The OSIRIS REx mission, which is to take a soil sample from Bennu in July 2020 and bring it back to Earth in 2023, reached Bennu in December 2018. Shortly before, Andrea Milani was killed in a bicycle accident.
