Menacing 59-foot asteroid rushing towards Earth! Close approach today

[ad_1] NASA has issued an alert due to a menacing space rock which is headed for Earth today. Know its speed, distance, size and more. Once every few million years, a planet-killing space rock impacts the Earth, according to NASA. As these space rocks revolve around the Sun in their elliptical orbits, the asteroids also rotate, sometimes quite erratically, according to NASA. Colossal asteroids have been responsible for some of the biggest events in history. From the Chelyabinsk disaster that claimed many lives to the meteor which caused the extinction of dinosaurs millions of years ago, whenever meteors have crashed on Earth, they have impacted lives.Although a planet-killing space rock is not expected to make a trip to Earth anytime soon, NASA has warned that an asteroid speeding tow...

51-foot Asteroid 2022 YG5 blitzing its way towards Earth today, reveals NASA

[ad_1] This asteroid is rushing towards Earth, says NASA! How close will it come to the planet? Asteroids have struck the Earth more than once in the last billion years. Some of them have changed the course of history. They may well be the reason for the rise of humanity. But how can asteroid impact craters, which struck the Earth thousands of years ago be identified? In an astonishing development, a team of international researchers identified the previous impact sites of asteroids using CSI crime solving techniques. But before that, know about this asteroid which is headed directly for Earth, as warned by NASA.Asteroid 2022 YG5 key detailsThe asteroid, named Asteroid 2022 YG5 will fly past Earth today, December 30.

Colossal 680-foot asteroid to come extremely close to Earth today! NASA reveals key details

[ad_1] NASA has warned that a colossal asteroid is all set to make a close approach with the planet today. Though most asteroids are found in a ring between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter, called the asteroid belt, that doesn't mean they've never come close to Earth. In fact, some space rocks have made their way towards Earth in the past. Some of these space rocks have even caused a major impact and even triggered an extinction-level event. One of the major asteroid-related events in history was when one struck the Earth nearly 65 million years ago. It was responsible for triggering the extinction of dinosaurs when it crashed on Earth near the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. Although nearly not as dangerous, NASA has warned that another asteroid is on its way towards Earth, and it is a bi...

69-foot asteroid to come shockingly close to Earth; NASA clocks speed at scary 49897 kmph

[ad_1] NASA has warned that a huge 69-foot asteroid is speeding towards the planet today. Could there be a chance of impact? 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. Although NASA scientists estimate that an asteroid would have to be about 96 km wide to completely and utterly destroy life on Earth, smaller asteroids also have the potential to cause damage up to some extent. Unlike bigger asteroids which rarely stray towards Earth, smaller space rocks frequently fly past the planet at close distances. Now, NASA has warned that another asteroid is on its way.Asteroid 2022 WA6 detailsNASA has warned that Asteroid 2022 WA6 is on its way towards Earth travelling at a s...

[ad_1] NASA has issued an alert due to the menacing space rock which is headed for Earth today. Know its speed, distance, size and more. New day means another new asteroid is expected to pass by Earth at an extremely close distance. NASA, which is one of the primary space agencies in the world, has issued an asteroid alert against a space rock that is hurtling towards Earth. NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office is responsible for keeping an eye on the sky for rogue asteroids which could potentially threaten Earth. The organisation has now flagged this space rock as a Potentially Hazardous Object due to it heading for close approach to the planet today.Key info about Asteroid 2022 WV8NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office has issued an alert against an asteroid named Aste...

[ad_1] NASA has issued an asteroid alert! A terrifying space rock is headed for us today. Know its details, as per NASA. Another day, another asteroid is set to pass by Earth extremely closely. After no less than 4 asteroids passed the planet extremely closely yesterday, November 30, space agencies are on alert again as 3 more are expected to make close approaches to Earth today. These asteroids are classified as Potentially Hazardous Objects due to their close proximity to Earth. NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office is responsible for keeping an eye on the sky for rogue asteroids which could potentially threaten Earth.

56-foot asteroid set to get very close to Earth today, says NASA; Is it dangerous?

[ad_1] NASA has revealed that a 56-foot asteroid could make a close approach to Earth today. Know about its distance, speed and how dangerously close it will get. If you thought asteroids have never struck the Earth, then you're mistaken. Not only have asteroids struck the Earth more than once in the last billion years, but some of them have even changed the course of history. These space rocks are also the reason behind the extinction of dinosaurs. Terrifyingly, one struck Earth on the November 18, 2022! Read story here.

Fiery asteroid rushing towards Earth; terrifying rock speeding at a SCORCHING 92115 kmph

[ad_1] Could this speeding asteroid pose a threat to Earth? NASA has revealed how shockingly close it will come to Earth. In case you didn't know, space is full of celestial objects, out of which only a few have been discovered. Asteroids are some of these mysterious objects. Most of them can be found orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter within the main asteroid belt. Although they are found millions of light years away, some get knocked out of their orbits and make a close trip to Earth. Now, NASA has warned that an astonishing asteroid is on its way. How do they do that? NASA keeps a watch on these asteroids by studying data collected by various telescopes and observatories such as the Pan-STARRS, the Catalina Sky Survey and the NEOWISE telescope.Asteroid 2022 WG1 key detailsNA...
