Apollo asteroid to pass Earth today, reveals NASA; From size to speed, know details

[ad_1] In recent months, Asteroids have been passing by Earth in large numbers. Just yesterday, as many as three asteroids passed the planet by a close margin. Two of them were 100 feet wide, making them almost as big as an aircraft. While such space rocks pass Earth closely on many occasions, they are not likely to impact the surface. However, this can change anytime if they interact with the gravitational field of a large planet like Jupiter, which can send them tumbling towards a planet, raising a potential impact scenario. NASA has now revealed that the orbit of another asteroid will bring it close to Earth today, April 3.Also Read: Three asteroids to pass Earth by a narrow margin Asteroid 2024 FL3According to NASA, Asteroid 2024 FL3 is just one of the many asteroids that revolve a...

NASA alert: Three asteroids to pass Earth by a narrow margin; Check speed, size and more

[ad_1] In the last few months, asteroid flybys have become a common occurrence. These space rocks, also known as minor planets, are rocky, airless remnants of the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. According to NASA, the current asteroid count is 1,351,400, with most of them revolving around the Sun in the main asteroid belt located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Now, the US space agency has shed light on three asteroids which have been observed moving towards Earth in their orbit and are expected to pass by the planet today, April 2.

150-foot asteroid to pass Earth by a narrow margin today, says NASA; Check details

[ad_1] Earth has been impacted by multiple celestial phenomena in the last few weeks. Along with the vernal equinox, the peak of the solar cycle 25 is approaching which has led to increased solar activity. Additionally, we've also seen numerous asteroid approaches. While these space rocks do not pose a danger like solar storms, they pass Earth very closely, making it imperative to monitor them to predict any potential collision scenarios. With its advanced tech, NASA has shed light on a 150-foot asteroid that is expected to pass Earth by a narrow margin today, March 27.Also Read: Two asteroids set to fly past Earth soon, reveals NASA Asteroid 2024 EA3According to NASA, Asteroid 2024 EA3 is just one of the millions of asteroids that orbit the Sun in the main asteroid belt, which is locat...

Gigantic 420-foot asteroid to pass Earth soon, reveals NASA; Know how close it will come

[ad_1] Asteroids have been passing by Earth in abundance. Just a few days ago, as many as four space rocks flew past Earth in one day. While most of these asteroids that pass by Earth closely do not pose any threat to life and property, it is still imperative to track them to minimize the uncertainties around their close approaches. NASA has now revealed details about a 420 feet wide asteroid that will pass Earth by a close margin tomorrow, March 23.Also Read: 60-foot asteroid to pass Earth by 1.03 mn km Asteroid 2024 EU4Asteroid 2024 EU4 is just one of the many space rocks that revolve around the Sun in the main asteroid belt, located between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars.

60-foot asteroid to pass Earth by 1.03 mn km, reveals NASA; Know how fast it is approaching

[ad_1] NASA says as many as four asteroids passed Earth yesterday, with the biggest of them being nearly 140 feet wide, which is comparable to an aircraft in size. These close approaches by Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) like asteroids serve as a reminder of the constant threat posed by celestial objects and why it is crucial to monitor their trajectories. Using its advanced space and ground-based telescopes, NASA has revealed that another asteroid is expected to fly past Earth tomorrow, March 22.
