77-foot asteroid approaching! Know what NASA has revealed

[ad_1] Not every asteroid is able to reach Earth's surface or collide with the planet. As soon as any space object enters Earth's atmosphere, it starts burning and turns into ashes before small pieces hit the ground. However, if the object turns out to be gigantic, and if it survives the burn, it may pose a danger. Therefore, in order to avoid such situations, NASA monitors the movement of the asteroids and their trajectory on a regular basis. It also shares the details of the asteroids nearing planet Earth via Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).77-foot asteroid racing towards Earth todayAs per the latest information, a 77-foot, airplane sized asteroid named 2023 FG5 is zooming towards planet Earth at a rapid speed today, Monday, April 10.

170-foot scary asteroid rushing towards Earth at 42912 kmph; will reach tomorrow, says NASA

[ad_1] Can an asteroid threaten Earth's civilization? Well, the era of dinosaurs is believed to have ended because of an asteroid's collision with the planet! What are the evidences of a space object colliding with Earth? The evidence of such occurrences are a huge number of craters on Earth. Even the moon and other planetary bodies have these asteroid collision craters. "We believe anything larger than one to two kilometers could have worldwide effects," US space agency NASA stated. It also said that asteroids that populate the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and pose no threat to Earth, can be as big as 940 kilometers (about 583 miles) across. Howver, if something untoward happens, then these asteroids can be knocked out of their orbits towards Earth.170-foot Asteroid 202...

450-foot Asteroid 2018 UQ1 rushing towards Earth, says NASA; know speed of this monster rock

[ad_1] Are asteroids dangerous for us and our planet? Among all the objects revolving around in the universe, not all are considered hazardous. However, asteroids, which are dubbed as near Earth objects, can sometimes be dangerous for the planet depending upon the size. It is even believed that the collision of Earth with a huge asteroid is the reason behind the extinction of the dinosaurs. Therefore, in order to deal with these threats in time, NASA keeps tracking their movements on a constant basis-each asteroid that nears Earth is tracked separately.The US space agency has raised a concern informing that a gigantic 450-foot asteroid is rapidly approaching Earth on March 17, 2023. This asteroid will come very close to the planet, but is likely to pass by, albeit very closely, accordi...

GIGANTIC 450-foot asteroid nearing Earth today at 55944 kmph, says NASA

[ad_1] Do you know that not all the near-Earth objects (NEO) are safe for humanity and for the overall planet Earth? The crash of a NEO with Earth is said to be the reason behind the extinction of dinosaurs on the planet? Imagine, what if another such collision happens? No one will ever want such a thing to happen, Therefore, to prevent any such mishap, it is very important to keep a track on the potentially hazardous near Earth objects. NASA has already raised a concern regarding a potentially hazardous massive asteroid of 450-foot which is zooming towards planet Earth today, February 27.450-foot Asteroid 2012 DK31 nearing Earth todayAsteroids are of varied sizes. The smaller its size is, the less threat it poses for the planet. However, a gigantic asteroid like the 2012 DK31 which is...
