Asteroid Watch: Huge 100-ft asteroid could fly terrifyingly close to Earth!

[ad_1] A huge 100 feet wide asteroid named 2022 SA1 is expected to fly terrifyingly close to Earth today, says NASA. NASA' Planetary Defense Coordination Office has red flagged an asteroid named Asteroid 2022 SA1 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 7.1 million kilometers from the Earth today, on September 21.The Asteroid 2022 SA1 has been red flagged by NASA even though it is not heading for an impact with Earth. It was classified as a Potentially Hazardous Object due to the close proximity it will pass by Earth. Asteroids which come closer than 8 million kilometers from the Earth's orbit are classified as potentially hazardo...

NASA lists out 5 hazardous asteroids that are heading for Earth this week

[ad_1] NASA has issued a warning for 5 upcoming hazardous asteroids that will make their closest approach to Earth. This month is going to be exciting for stargazers as the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter, is ready to make its closest approach to Earth in 71 years. While people on Earth will get a chance to have a rare glimpse of it, there will be some threatening asteroids in space that are posing a threat to our planet. Yesterday, three asteroids whizzed past the Earth, one of them being as large as a giant building at 390 feet, while there was a 36 foot asteroid that came terrifyingly close. But there are more coming soon.NASA's Asteroid Watch has listed 5 potentially hazardous asteroids that are making their c...

Small, but dangerous! This asteroid TODAY will get terrifyingly close to Earth

[ad_1] Dangerous Asteroid 2022 SB is on its way to make a terrifyingly close approach to Earth. Here’s what NASA said. There are three asteroids that are lined up to make a very close approach to Earth, NASA's JPL tracker alerted. One of them are as large as a giant building at 390 feet, while another one is plane sized at 180 feet in diameter. However, one of the most terrifying among these is the Asteroid 2022 SB. No, it is not the size that poses a threat to Earth, as it measures 36 foot, but its terrifyingly close approach to Earth that is generating worry. As per the asteroid data tracking page by NASA, Asteroid 2022 SB will fly past the Earth today September 18 at a horrifyingly close distance of just 724,000 miles, whi...

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...
