140-metre Christmas asteroid rushing towards Earth; Dangerous rock to come fearfully close

[ad_1] A massive 140-meter asteroid is heading towards Earth at a massive speed of 21276 kmph. It will come close just ahead of Christmas. A massive 140- metre asteroid is set to come frighteningly close to Earth just ahead of Christmas. However, it may end up being a treat for stargazers as the European Space Agency (ESA) said that you can actually catch a glimpse of the humongous asteroid, which is travelling towards Earth at a fiery speed of 21276 km per hour. It is known as asteroid 2015 RN35 and was first discovered on September 9, 2015. Not just that, it has a massive size of up to 140 metres. ESA also informed that asteroid 2015 RN35 will make it closest approach towards Earth at 08:12 UTC on 15 December. It will get dangerously close to earth- just 686000 km, which is just und...

Asteroid big as a bus coming towards Earth today! Blitzing its way at 24959 kmph

[ad_1] NASA has warned about this perilous asteroid, which will come extremely close to Earth today. An asteroid coming towards Earth has been dubbed as potentially hazardous by the US space agency NASA. While a huge number of asteroids pass far away from Earth, there are many which come too close to the planet and these are then dubbed as being hazardous objects. The entire process is decided by the size of the asteroid as well as the close approach to Earth and that is what has happened to the asteroid today.To determine the potential threat from an asteroid or near-Earth object, NASA keeps a close eye on all the upcoming objects such as asteroids and even comets. Now, asteroid 2022 XD has been spotted approaching the Earth. It is 40-foot asteroid, but it will make a terrifyingly cl...

1300-foot asteroid rushing towards Earth today; Space rock is a horror in size and speed

[ad_1] A giant 1300-foot-sized asteroid is hurtling towards Earth at a terrifying speed of 103833 km per hour. Here’s what NASA experts say about this monster rock. There are a lot of asteroids that NASA scientists track on a daily basis. Even the current known asteroid count is 1113527. But do asteroids hit the Earth? Sadly, the answer is yes! Just a couple of weeks ago, NASA spotted an asteroid just three hours before it actually hit Earth. Thankfully, it didn't harm anyone, but NASA scientists informed that it "streaked across the sky high in Earth's atmosphere, broke up, and likely scattered small meteorites over the southern coastline of Lake Ontario." Another relieving fact is that the asteroid was just roughly 1 meter (3 feet) wide. So, if this small asteroid can grab so much a...

140-foot asteroid rushing towards close approach to Earth at blazing speed of 51875 kmph

[ad_1] NASA confirmed that a 140-foot asteroid is on its way to Earth at a massive speed of 51875 kmph. Earth may face a bit of danger from this upcoming asteroid hurtling towards Earth at terrifying speed! A huge "potentially hazardous" asteroid zoomed by yesterday after it made its closest approach towards Earth. This was a 62-foot-sized Asteroid 2022 UD71. But the fear of these horrific space rocks is not over! The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has issued a warning that another massive airplane-sized space rock, asteroid 2022 WP5, will make its closest approach to Earth today. NASA has flagged it as a "potentially hazardous object".The reason is its close proximity! According to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the upcoming asteroid is 140-foot in size...

150-foot Asteroid heading for Earth, just days after HORROR asteroid HITS planet, says NASA

[ad_1] Horrifyingly, an asteroid actually hit Earth, NASA revealed. Now, NASA has alerted about a 150-foot-wide asteroid heading this way. Horrifyingly, just hours before an asteroid strike on Earth, NASA realised it was on a collision course with Earth and would hit for sure. The asteroid strike, on November 19, caused skies over southern Ontario, Canada, to light up brightly as astonished people looked on. The asteroid that hit Earth was named 2022 WJ1. Thankfully, it didn't harm anyone, but NASA scientists informed that it "streaked across the sky high in Earth's atmosphere, broke up, and likely scattered small meteorites over the southern coastline of Lake Ontario." Surprising fact? The asteroid was detected just three and a half an hour before impact. Reason for the fortunate end...

3280-foot monster asteroid heading towards Earth; Check out this terrifying planet-killer

[ad_1] Asteroid 2022 AP7, which measures 1-2 km (3280.84 feet is equal to 1 km) in diameter poses a huge threat to Earth. Is there a chance this terrifying asteroid will hit? In a critically important development, the constant quest to detect dangerous asteroids that are heading towards Earth has just borne fruit. A terrifying asteroid has been found. Scientists have encountered a planet-killer monster asteroid, which can be lethal for our planet! Scott Sheppard of the Carnegie Institution for Science and his team of colleagues have observed, not just one, but 3 asteroids, one of which is said to be a ‘planet-killer' and it has been named Asteroid 2022 AP7. The most worrying part is that it is the largest potentially hazardous asteroid found in the last eight years, measuring between ...

Scary! 48-foot Asteroid hurtling towards Earth, says NASA; will come terrifyingly close

[ad_1] Asteroid 2022 VL1 is hurtling towards Earth at an astonishing speed of 31306 kmph. Should you worry? Know what NASA says. Planet-killer asteroids careen around the solar system, in the neighbourhood of the Earth, almost on a daily basis. To determine the potential danger from these space wanderers, scientists constantly hunt for any sizable ones that may pose a threat to Earth. Already, NASA has built up a massive database of thee asteroids called near-Earth objects (NEOs). The idea is to find the asteroid that may be heading straight for a collision course with the Earth. And the endeavour is to keep a constant eye on all these asteroids in order to quickly find out if any one of them has had a slight deviation from its orbit and is now getting dangerously close to Earth. NASA...

100-foot asteroid dashing towards Earth at 29520 kmph tomorrow, says NASA

[ad_1] A 100-foot asteroid is zooming towards Earth tomorrow. Should you worry about it? Know what NASA says. You may have heard many reports of upcoming asteroids that pose a serious danger to the Earth. But did you know that these asteroids are relatively small inactive bodies composed of rocky, dusty, and metallic materials, which orbit around the Sun. Most of them are found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. However, there are some monster rocks that follow paths that circulate into the inner solar system which also include the near-Earth asteroids. These are the main dangers that keep NASA scientists in active mode all the time to assess how hazardous these asteroids really are- in short, will they come too close to Earth, will they crash into it, or just fly by.Notably, one...

Asteroid danger is closer than you think! NASA says asteroid coming at 16272 kmph

[ad_1] A small yet potentially hazardous asteroid is hurtling towards Earth at a speed of 16272 kmph today. Know what NASA said. Did you know, there are currently 1113527 known asteroids? One of which is rushing towards Earth today! NASA has confirmed that a potentially hazardous asteroid is all set to make its closest approach to Earth. NASA's JPL data has confirmed that the upcoming asteroid measures just 29 feet in diameter. Despite being small in size, this asteroid is dubbed as being potentially hazardous by scientists. Also, NASA's Planetary Defence Coordination Office has red-flagged Asteroid 2022 UU8, and the reason is its terrifyingly close proximity to Earth. To know whether the upcoming asteroid poses any threat to Earth or not, NASA keeps a close eye on all the upcoming...
