310-foot asteroid zooming towards Earth at mind-blowing speed- Check all details

[ad_1] An asteroid called 2008 RW as big as 310 feet (size of a building) is moving towards Earth at high speed. Here is all you need to know. Not every asteroid coming towards Earth is dangerous for the living organisms staying on it. However, it also does not decrease the risk of the asteroid striking the planet or causing some other harm. Therefore, scientists and researchers keep an eye on every object that is heading towards Earth and study it in order to know if it can collide with the planet or pass harmlessly by after buzzing the planet at close quarters. As per the latest information provided by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), an asteroid dubbed Asteroid 2008 RW, as big as 310 feet (size of a building), will ...

NASA defines asteroids as rocky, airless remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. Most of them can be found orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter within the main asteroid belt. Asteroids come in all shapes and sizes, with the largest being nearly 530 kilometers in diameter called Vesta. Earth is being bombarded with asteroids this year. August alone has seen more than 35 asteroids passing by Earth closely and September is expected to follow the same trend. Now, another asteroid is on its way, NASA has warned.Asteroid 2022 RJ2...
