Potentially Hazardous Asteroid to pass Earth today, says NASA; Know how big it is

[ad_1] Asteroids are ancient space rocks floating in their orbits in space. However, sometimes they come dangerously close to a planet like Earth. This happens due to the interaction with a large planet's gravitational field, which can send the tumbling towards a planet, raising a potential impact scenario. NASA and other space agencies use advanced space and ground-based telescopes to monitor asteroids and minimize the uncertainties around their close approaches. NASA has now shed light on an asteroid that is expected to pass Earth by a close margin today, February 14.Also Read: What are asteroids and why do they come so frighteningly close to Earth?

120-foot asteroid set to pass Earth today, reveals NASA; Know how close it will get

[ad_1] Another day, another asteroid flyby. That was the case last month with an asteroid approaching Earth almost every other day, and February is expected to continue the trend. Using its advanced ground and space-based telescopes such as the NEOWISE telescope, Pans-STARRS1, and Catalina Sky Survey, NASA has revealed that two asteroids will be passing Earth at close distances today, February 1. The US Space Agency says one of the asteroids is almost as big as an aircraft! Know all about this close encounter with the asteroid today. Asteroid 2003 BM4: DetailsThe asteroid, given the designation of Asteroid 2003 BM4 by NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), is travelling towards Earth in its orbit at a breakneck speed of 39102 kilometers per hour, which is much faster than ...

Asteroid as big as an aircraft to pass Earth soon, says NASA; it will return in 2170

[ad_1] It is already known that most asteroids are located in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. But sometimes, these space rocks interact with a large planet's gravitational field which can send them tumbling towards the planet for potential impact. To minimize uncertainties around their close approaches, NASA uses its advanced space and ground-based telescopes such as the NEOWISE telescope, Pans-STARRS1, and Catalina Sky Survey. Using this advanced tech, the US Space Agency has shed light on an asteroid that is set to pass Earth at close quarters today, January 24. Know all about its close approach to the planet.Asteroid 2024 AL6: DetailsThe asteroid, given the designation of Asteroid 2024 AL6 by NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), is trave...

Asteroid 2024 AE3 to pass by Earth today, says NASA! How big is it? Find out

[ad_1] NASA, with the help of its advanced space and ground-based telescopes, has recently tracked the asteroid that is set to pass Earth today, January 19. The asteroid, given the designation of Asteroid 2024 AE3 by NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), is travelling towards Earth in its orbit at a breakneck speed of 27076 kilometers per hour, which is almost as fast as Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs)!NASA expects this space rock to fly past Earth at a close margin of approximately 4.2 million kilometers. Asteroid 2024 AE3: DetailsWhile this asteroid will pass by closely, it isn't big enough to cause panic or any potential damage. As per NASA, the asteroid is 160 feet wide, making it almost as big as an aircraft! However, if it crashes on Earth, it could stil...

NASA says Asteroid 2023 WZ3 will pass Earth today; Know details of this close encounter

[ad_1] While these space rocks are millions or even billions of kilometers away from Earth, located in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, their orbits bring them close to Earth on some occasions. Spacecraft such as Dawn, OSIRIS-REx, and Hayabusa2 have helped in discovering and studying asteroids, unlocking their secrets. Moreover, NASA has several space telescopes and ground-based observatories in place such as the NEOWISE telescope, Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), Pans-STARRS1, Catalina Sky Survey, the Hubble Space Telescope and the new $1 billion James Webb Space Telescope.With the help of such advanced tech, NASA has revealed that this is the case today as an asteroid is expected to pass Earth by a close margin today, January 11.

Car-sized asteroid set to pass Earth today; NASA reveals speed, size, and more

[ad_1] When NASA's telescopes such as the NEOWISE telescope, Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), Pans-STARRS1, and Catalina Sky Survey 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, the US space agency has shed light on an asteroid that is expected to pass Earth today, January 4.Asteroid 2024 AD4: Close approach detailsAs per the details revealed by NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), Asteroid 2024 AD4 is expected to pass Earth at a distance of just 243,000 kilometers.
