[ad_1] NASA has warned that a hazardous asteroid is hurtling towards Earth at a high speed. Does it pose any threat to the planet? Asteroid flybys have been a common theme these past few months with more than 35 asteroids passing by Earth closely in the months of August and September. It seems like October is all set to surpass that figure as 35 space rocks have already sped past the planet. Although most of these asteroids pass by Earth relatively safely, some of them do come too close for comfort as did one just the other day when it came almost as close the moon, they could cause major damage on the planet if these space rocks deviated from their trajectory. NASA has now warned that a hazardous asteroid is hurtling towards Earth today.Asteroid 2022 UU1 key detailsNASA's Planetary D...
