Asteroid set to pass Earth at a breakneck speed of 51636 kmph; NASA reveals size, other details

[ad_1] NASA says asteroids are ancient space rocks left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. While most space rocks are located in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, they can also come close to Earth on some occasions, potentially posing a threat to the planet. But how does this happen? NASA says that the orbits of asteroids can be changed by Jupiter's massive gravity and by occasional close encounters with planets like Mars or other objects. These accidental encounters can knock asteroids out of the main belt and hurl them into space in all directions across the orbits of the other planets.With the help of its advanced space and ground-based telescopes, NASA has now revealed that an asteroid is expected to pass Earth...

Apollo group asteroid to buzz Earth, says NASA; Check speed, size, and other details

[ad_1] NASA, ESA, and other space agencies have developed technology to track asteroids in their orbits, and even deflect them in case a potential impact scenario develops. While most of them are present in the main asteroid belt located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, they often pass Earth. Interaction with a planet's gravitational field can sometimes knock asteroids off course, sending them tumbling towards a planet for impact. Therefore, it is crucial that asteroids be tracked to minimize the uncertainties around their close approaches. Using its tech, NASA has now shed light on an asteroid that is expected to pass Earth today, January 10. Know all about this close approach.Asteroid 2023 XT14: Speed, size, distance, and moreThe asteroid, designated as Asteroid 2023 XT14 is ex...

Two asteroids set to pass Earth today, reveals NASA; Check speed, size, and other details

[ad_1] When NASA's telescopes track a new Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA), astronomers measure the asteroid's observed positions in the sky and report them to the Minor Planet Center. The Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) then uses that data to determine the asteroid's most likely orbit around the Sun, according to NASA. 2024 has begun multiple asteroid approaches in the first two days, and the trend is set to continue today. Not one, but two asteroids are expected to fly past Earth at close quarters today, January 9. Check details.Asteroid 2024 AS1: DetailsThe first asteroid to pass Earth today has been designated Asteroid 2024 AS1 by NASA CNEOS. It is expected to pass Earth at a distance of just 580,000 kilometers. As per NASA, it is travelling in its orbit at a speed of 60425 ki...

[ad_1] 2024 has begun multiple asteroid approaches in the first two days, and the trend is set to continue today. As per the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), an asteroid is expected to pass Earth by a close margin today, January 3. When NASA's telescopes track a new Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA), astronomers measure the asteroid's observed positions in the sky and report them to the Minor Planet Center. The Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) then uses that data to determine the asteroid's most likely orbit around the Sun, according to NASA. Using this method, know details about Asteroid 2019 KK5 such as its speed, size, and distance of approach.Asteroid 2019 KK5: DetailsThis near-Earth space rock has been designated Asteroid 2019 KK5 by NASA CNEOS.
