Scary aircraft-sized asteroid headed for Earth today! NASA reveals flight path

[ad_1] A huge aircraft-sized asteroid is on its way towards Earth! Is the planet in any danger? Here’s what NASA has to say about the asteroid. NASA' Planetary Defense Coordination Office has red flagged an asteroid named Asteroid 2022 QC7 which is expected to fly past Earth at an extremely close distance. According to NASA, the asteroid will pass Earth at a distance of just 4.6 million kilometers from Earth today, September 6.NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office is responsible for monitoring the skies and keeping a watch on various Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). If any celestial object is at risk of Earth impact, it red flags and issues the alert. The Asteroid 2022 QC7 has also been red flagged by NASA. Although the aste...

NASA ALERT! This asteroid terror rocketing towards Earth today

[ad_1] A huge and scary asteroid is hurtling towards Earth at blistering speed. Here’s what NASA has to say. Asteroid flybys have been a common theme these past few months. For those of you who don't know, an asteroid is a terrifying small, rocky object out in space travelling at massive speed and when seen in a telescope, it appears as a point of light, according to NASA. Most asteroids are found in a ring between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter called the Asteroid Belt. These celestial objects are the remains of the period during which our solar system formed, over 4.6 billion years ago.An asteroid, named Asteroid 2022 QJ7, has been spotted coming towards Earth today at a blistering speed. The asteroid was spotted by NASA's D...

This frightening 150-foot wide asteroid just buzzed Earth; NASA says 4 other asteroids coming

[ad_1] After the safe passage of a frightening 150-foot wide giant asteroid, NASA has issued a warning for four more asteroids. Here’s the list. While on one hand NASA is preparing to launch the Artemis I spacecraft to pave the way for a crewed flight test and future human lunar exploration, on the other, a massive 150-foot wide asteroid just passed the Earth from very close quarters. NASA revealed that an asteroid named 2022 QO31 made its closest approach of around 3.32 million miles to Earth today. Thankfully, Earth escaped the terror of this potentially hazardous asteroid, but it seems like this peace of mind will not last long. As soon as this asteroid skipped past the Earth, NASA has issued a warning about another four a...

Beware! Gigantic killer asteroid hurtling towards the Earth today, says NASA; Will it strike us?

[ad_1] 2022 QO31, a 150-foot wide asteroid, is going to make its closest approach to the Earth today, September 3, according to NASA and can pose a horrific threat to us. What is the likelihood of a strike? Find out. The asteroid troubles have been brewing for the Earth for a while now. Last month, the Earth luckily survived some close calls where asteroids just flew past our planet at a distance of a couple million kilometers, some even less. And in case you think these distances are too big to be concerning, just know that the asteroids themselves travel at a speed between 24,000-50,000 kmph. A few million kilometers can be covered in days, especially if it deviates from its path and heads for Earth. And this is why NASA sc...

Another scary Asteroid heading for Earth today! NASA issues warning

[ad_1] Asteroid 2022 QN5 is already heading for Earth at blistering speed and is expected to just miss the planet today, according to NASA. In a not-so-shocking news, NASA has issued yet another asteroid alert. According to the space agency, Asteroid 2022 QN5 is already on its way towards Earth and is expected to miss the planet by a close margin today, September 2. NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office has red-flagged the Asteroid 2022 QN5 as it has become the latest Near-Earth Object (NEO) to pass Earth within 8 million kilometers. Scientists say this asteroid could cause catastrophic damage on Earth if it deviates from its orbit due to the pull of Earth's gravitational field.Asteroids have been responsible for some ...

This 150-foot asteroid heading towards Earth tomorrow! To travel at dangerous speeds of 30,420 kmph

[ad_1] A 150 feet wide asteroid named Asteroid 2022 QO31 will just miss Earth tomorrow at extremely close distance. Here's what NASA has to say about Asteroid 2022 QO31. A 150 feet wide asteroid named Asteroid 2022 QO31, nearly the size of a large commercial aircraft, will just miss Earth tomorrow according to NASA. Although it is safe to say that people on Earth will remain unharmed as it passes by Earth at a safe distance, it still has caused a panic among the space agencies due to the extremely close distance with which it will pass by Earth. Asteroid 2022 QO31 is different from previous asteroids that have flown past Earth recently as it does not belong to the Apollo group of asteroids but the Aten group. The asteroid orb...

Thrilling encounter: Asteroid 2022 QT7 to zoom past Earth today

[ad_1] A huge asteroid named Asteroid 2022 QT7 is expected to just about miss Earth today and fly off back into deep space. An asteroid is a small, rocky object and when seen in a telescope, it appears as a point of light, according to NASA. Asteroids are loose space missiles, which, if they crash into something, can be immensely destructive. Most asteroids are found in a ring between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter called the asteroid belt. These celestial objects are the remains of the period during which our solar system formed, over 4.6 billion years ago. Asteroids come in all shapes and sizes, with the largest being nearly 530 kilometers in diameter called Vesta. Others are smaller at around 100 feet and even less. Earth i...
