[ad_1]
Alert! Another asteroid is coming towards us at mind-boggling speed today! Know what NASA said about this speeding space rock.
According to NASA, asteroids are ancient space rocks, effectively rubble, left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. Most of them can be found within the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Interaction with a planet's gravitational field, especially Jupiter, can knock asteroids off their orbits and send them hurtling in all directions. NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office keeps a check on these Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) for any potential collision with Earth and declares them as Potentially Hazardous Objects if they come within around 8 million kilometers of Earth.Asteroid 2022 TS key detailsNASA...
