"planetary impact" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It is typically used to describe the far-reaching effects of a particular event, policy, or occurrence on the global scale. For example, "The pandemic has had a significant planetary impact on global economies and public health."
But it's a prominent example of how social media can generate scale, transforming an activity that would be mostly harmless in isolation into something with planetary impact.
When we think of impact, we think of startups that will grow into substantial companies and have a positive human or planetary impact.
Scientists say that infrared light doesn't show evidence of two of the leading theories: that planetary impact, or two asteroids colliding into each other, had created debris that is moving in front of the star.

Nanomaterials, planetary impact, dynamic failure mechanisms, shock, impact, and wave propagation, high-strain-rate behavior of materials, injury biomechanics, constitutive and failure modeling.
MESSENGER discovered strange, rimless depressions that are not planetary impact craters, says Sori. "Hollows are seen only on Mercury and commonly display high surface reflectance and often bright halos," Sean Solomon, a geophysicist at Columbia University and MESSENGER's principal investigator, told me.
While a third study found that planetary impacts are more likely to feature similarly composed planets than previously thought, the odds are still placed at just 20-40 percent.
The Slooh webcast will include commentary from Mark Boslough, an expert on planetary impacts.
We asked: What are the limits of the city's capacity for self-sufficiency in the basic components of its respiration -- food, air, water, climate, manufacture, construction, waste, movement, etc. -- and how will New York (and other cities) evolve should they devote themselves to taking direct responsibility for their planetary impacts?
We first survey exogenic processes (i.e. those for which energy for surface modification is supplied externally to the planetary surface): impact cratering, sedimentary processes (including volatile migration), and the work of wind.
"The paper provides great new insights into how the very intricacies of leaf structure and function can have a planetary scale impact," said Dr Pep Canadell from the Global Carbon Project at CSIRO Australia.
