90-foot, 88-foot asteroids zooming towards Earth at mind boggling speed, reveals NASA

[ad_1] Tuesday, April 25, 2023, will witness four asteroids approaching very close to planet Earth. Out of these four asteroids, two are as large as 90-foot and 88-foot. Will these asteroids be dangerous to the planet? No, not all the objects in outer space nearing Earth, including asteroids, pose a threat to the planet. The only time of concern will be when these objects are too large and the chances of their collision with planet Earth is very high. In the case of these asteroids, the danger is not serious even though they will be getting too close to Earth for comfort. Problem now is that these asteroids are too close to Earth to do anything about any of them. If discovered on time, steps can be taken.Therefore, in order to stay alert and be prepared to avoid such incidents and situa...

120-foot Asteroid 2023 HV2 nearing Earth today at a stunning 91044 kmph, says NASA

[ad_1] 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 their size. It is even believed that the collision of a huge asteroid with asteroid is the reason behind the extinction of the dinosaurs and many other species. And today, Sunday, April 23, a 120-foot asteroid is all set to make a close approach to planet Earth. Here is what NASA has informed about the monstrous rock.Asteroid 2023 HV2: Speed, distance, and moreThe US space agency has raised a concern informing that a gigantic 120-foot asteroid is rapidly approaching Earth today.

101-foot Asteroid 2023 HQ zooming towards Earth at bewildering speed today, alerts NASA

[ad_1] Space is a dangerous place. It is filled with a massive number of gigantic and high-speed celestial bodies moving in random directions. And some of them pose a big threat to the Earth. Just a couple of days ago, an asteroid exploded over the skies in Europe. This is why space agencies such as NASA have doubled down on planetary defense measures. Last year, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission was conducted successfully and now, NASA has begun construction of the Near-Earth Object (NEO) Surveyor space telescope which will scan the inner solar system in the infrared spectrum to look for any potentially dangerous asteroids. And now, NASA reveals that a mammoth 101-foot asteroid is going to visit our planet from a dangerously close distance. The risk is, if it gets tra...

Double asteroid flyby today! 2 monster rocks speeding towards Earth, warns NASA

[ad_1] A number of asteroids pass close to the Earth almost every day, but only a few of them pose risk to humanity. Today, NASA has issued a warning that two dangerous asteroids are ready to make their close approach to Earth. According to CNEOS data, the first asteroid, named 2023 HK, which is about 42-foot in size, roughly the size of a bus, is moving at a rapid speed of 57338 kilometres per hour. The second asteroid, named 2023 HJ, a 34-foot space rock, is rushing towards Earth at a speed of 33031 kilometres per hour. Despite their small sizes, you may be wondering why scientists are focusing on these asteroids.The main concern issue is the proximity of asteroids to Earth. As per NASA's asteroid data tracking webpage, asteroid 2023 HJ will approach Earth at a distance of merely 1.17...

[ad_1] Do you know that there are currently 1278661 known asteroids, according to NASA? All these asteroids vary in their sizes with the largest at about 329 miles (530 kilometers) in diameter to less than 33 feet (10 meters) across. Asteroids are classified under three categories- Main Asteroid Belt, Trojans, and Near Earth Asteroids. The near-Earth asteroids have orbits that pass close by that of Earth. Here we will be telling you about one such near-earth asteroid, which will pass close to Earth today, Saturday, April 15.51-foot asteroid 2023 GC1This 51-foot asteroid named 2023 GC1 is all set to pass by planet Earth today along with two other asteroids.

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...
