Aircraft-sized Apollo-group asteroid set to pass Earth, says NASA; Check close encounter details

[ad_1] After Asteroid 2024 CK5 passed Earth by a close margin a few days ago, NASA has issued yet another asteroid warning. As many as four space rocks are approaching the planet at breakneck speeds and will fly past Earth closely tomorrow, February 22. While these asteroids can sometimes come even closer to Earth than the Moon, most of them do not pose any threat and pass by relatively safely. Still, the space agencies continue to monitor their orbits for any potential collision scenarios. Know all about the close encounter with the asteroid.Asteroid 2024 CE8: DetailsThe asteroid has been given the designation of Asteroid 2024 CE8 by NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS). It is travelling in its orbit at a breakneck speed of around 67732 kilometers per hour, which is even...

NASA says aircraft-sized asteroid will pass Earth closely today; Check speed, size and more

[ad_1] NASA has tracked an asteroid in its orbit that will pass Earth by a very close margin today, February 15. It was discovered using advanced space telescopes and ground-based observatories in place such as the NEOWISE telescope, Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), Pans-STARRS1, Catalina Sky Survey, the Hubble Space Telescope and the new $1 billion James Webb Space Telescope. Check out the details about this close encounter.Asteroid 2024 CE1: DetailsNASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) has designated this asteroid as Asteroid 2024 CE1. This space rock is travelling towards Earth in its orbit at a breathtaking speed of 32965 kilometers per hour, which is much faster than Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs)!  It is just one of the 3 asteroids th...

Aircraft-sized asteroid to pass Earth at close quarters, reveals NASA; Check speed, size and more

[ad_1] With the help of its advanced technology, NASA has shed light on an asteroid that is expected to pass Earth today, February 13. It is one of the many space rocks that will, and some already have, flown past the planet in recent weeks. While these asteroids can sometimes come even closer to Earth than the Moon, most of them do not pose any threat and pass by relatively safely. Still, the space agencies continue to monitor their orbits for any potential collision scenarios. Know all about the close encounter with the asteroid today.Asteroid 2024 CB1: DetailsAsteroid 2024 CB1 is expected to pass Earth at a distance of just 1.4 million kilometers and at a speed of 63174 kilometers per hour which is almost as fast as a space shuttle! It is important to note that while it has been term...

Aircraft-sized asteroid to pass Earth by a close margin today, reveals NASA

[ad_1] NASA has a suite of advanced tech equipment used for observing and monitoring Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) such as asteroids, comets, and more. The month of November was filled with numerous asteroid approaches, and December seems to continue the trend with another asteroid set to pass by Earth today, December 11. This space rock was spotted by NASA's Defense Coordination Office (PDCO), which is responsible for monitoring the skies and keeping a watch on various Near-Earth Objects (NEOs), using various space and ground-based telescopes such as NEOWISE telescope, Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), Pans-STARRS1 and Catalina Sky Survey. Know the details of its close approach.Asteroid 2010 XF3: Details of close approachAs per the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (C...

Aircraft-sized asteroid to pass Earth, reveals NASA; Know details of close approach

[ad_1] There have been several close calls with asteroids in history. One of them even impacted Earth and kicked off the extinction of the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago. In a new development, NASA, with the help of its advanced ground and space-based telescopes, has revealed that an asteroid is expected to pass Earth today, December 5. According to NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies, the space rock has been designated Asteroid 2023 WW. Know all about the asteroid's close approach to Earth such as its speed, size, distance of approach, and more. Asteroid 2023 WW: Speed, size, distance, and moreAs per the details, Asteroid 2023 WW is expected to pass Earth at a distance of approximately 2.9 million kilometers.
