NASA says 2 MASSIVE asteroids, including one that is 55-foot wide, nearing Earth today

[ad_1] After 4 gigantic asteroids including one that is 1500-foot, dubbed 2006 HV5, passed Earth on Wednesday, there are two other asteroids (though not that massive!) in the queue nearing the planet today, April 27, 2023. Are these asteroids dangerous? Well, not all the objects in outer space nearing Earth, including asteroids and comets, pose a threat to the planet. The only time of concern will be when these objects are too large and the chances of their collision with planet Earth are very high. Also, these asteroids have a nasty habit of coming in out of the Sun and the glare prevents space agencies like NASA from locating them till they are almost near Earth. By then, it may be too late to take any action to stop them.In the case of the two asteroids nearing Earth today, the dange...

Jet-sized asteroid approaching Earth TODAY! NASA says size is 58-foot and speed 28119 kmph

[ad_1] There are almost 1.9 million asteroids which are 1KM or larger and millions of other space rocks in space, according to NASA. Despite this massive number, asteroids rarely threaten Earth and even when they approach Earth for close approach, most of them burn up in the atmosphere itself without causing any harm to the planet. Just yesterday, a massive 1500-foot wide asteroid, that is nearly as big as a bridge, passed Earth at an extremely close distance.NASA has now warned that another asteroid is on its way, and it could make its closest approach to the planet today. Asteroid 2023 HU4 detailsThe asteroid, given the designation of Asteroid 2023 HU4, will make its closest approach to Earth today, April 27, at a distance of 528,000 kilometers, which is just further away from the Moo...
