List of terror! NASA reveals 5 BIGGEST asteroids that may pose a threat to Earth

[ad_1] What are the biggest asteroids in our solar system? NASA has shared the list of these giant space rocks that are virtually labelled as planet killers on account of their massive size as well as the speed they are travelling. In fact a double whammy, if ever there was one. The Earth is under constant threat from asteroids that come shooting by and buzz the planet at close range. There have been many asteroids that have crashed on Earth and some even caused the extinction of many species. They threaten the same fate for us humans too. These asteroids are rocky remnants from the time when the early universe was forming and they are still running loose. Most of this ancient space rubble orbits between Mars and Jupiter with...

Scary! A 100-foot asteroid hurtling towards Earth today, August 28; NASA shares details

[ad_1] A 100-foot asteroid is hurtling towards Earth today, August 28! NASA warned about the massive space rock. Will this asteroid strike the Earth? Yesterday, Earth narrowly escaped a giant asteroid named Asteroid NEO 2022 QQ4, which was 100-foot in diameter. However, it flew safely past the Earth. Its closest approach to the Earth was 5.93 million kilometres. NASA's CNEOS has revealed that it travelled at a speed of 7.23 km per second. These giant rocks in space travel around the Sun, but they can change their paths due to the gravitational force of planets and sometimes even collide with them as happened with the asteroid that caused the extinction of dinosaurs when it crashed into the Earth! However, it may happen only i...

Scary Asteroid Parade on way this weekend! Is Earth in danger? NASA reveals all about these horrific space rocks

[ad_1] NASA has warned about the asteroids hurtling towards Earth. Do they pose danger? Know all here. In recent times, Earth has narrowly escaped the terror posed by asteroids that have flown by very close to our planet. Though none of these asteroids has hit the Earth, still they pose a threat due to their close proximity to our planet. In fact, just a few weeks ago, a smaller asteroid had impacted Earth, but it was too small to cause any damage. However, the threat is not over yet! NASA has warned that there will be four such asteroids larger than 100 feet in size that will be making close approaches to Earth this weekend. In effect, it will be an asteroid parade for skywatchers. However, do they pose any threat to Earth s...

Sun is acting STRANGE! A sunspot with Weird magnetic field spotted; Is another solar storm coming?

[ad_1] A perpendicular sunspot with its magnetic field rotated by 90 degrees was spotted on the Earth-facing solar disk. This is a very unusual sight and has scientists confused. Can this be the onset of a massive solar storm? As we near the peak of the 25th solar cycle of the Sun, which is due in 2023, the Sun is behaving more erratically. The increasing number of sunspots have been showing signs of peculiarity lately. Just a couple of days ago, we witnessed a sunspot which grew 10 times in size and became a part of a dual sunspot cluster. And today, a new sunspot has been observed which is displaying a very peculiar magnetic field. Instead of horizontal magnetic fields, this sunspot has them vertically, rotated at 90-degree...

NASA James Webb Space Telescope detects CO2 on an exoplanet! Will it have life on it?

[ad_1] NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured the first clear evidence of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere of a planet outside of our solar system. Here is all you need to know. Earth's atmosphere is made up of mainly three gases, namely nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide. But now, evidence has been found for the existence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of a planet outside the solar system. The evidence has been captured by Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope. Informing about the same, NASA Webb Telescope tweeted, "Catch your breath — Webb has captured the first clear evidence of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere of a planet outside of our solar system! WASP-39 B is a gas giant closely orbiting a Sun-li...

Shocking! Sunspot grows 10 times its size! Giant G5 class solar storm coming for Earth?

[ad_1] A new sunspot, AR3085, has been spotted by scientists. Worryingly, this sunspot has grown ten times its size in just two days. Will this spell a disaster for Earth with a G5 class solar storm? Find out. It seems that the Sun is regaining its violent demeanor after a week of low activity. Even as the Sun is moving towards the peak of its solar cycle, the solar activity was surprisingly low the previous week. Even the sunspot which was capable of producing M-class solar flares disappeared without an explosion. But all that is about to change. A new sunspot has appeared on the Sun which has worried the scientists. This sunspot grew ten times its original size in just two days. Worse still, it has now joined up with anothe...

The Sun nears its scary Solar Cycle peak, DESTRUCTIVE solar storm is on the cards

[ad_1] In 2023, the Sun will enter the solar maximum phase of its solar cycle. This is the peak of its volatility in this period when it is at its most unstable. That means multiple sunspots are expected to explode simultaneously during this period. This can result in a killer solar storm strike on Earth. In the last few days, the frequency of solar storms has increased, although their intensity remains low. As a result, these solar storms have not done any real damage on Earth except generate auroras in the northern sky mostly and temporarily blocking radio communications. However, a terrifying development can soon change all that. The Sun is approaching the peak of its 11-year long solar cycle, the solar maximum, in 2023. ...
