120-foot wide asteroid coming horrifyingly close to Earth; NASA reveals stunning speed

[ad_1] An asteroid that is around 120-foot wide is on its way to make a terrifyingly close approach to Earth. Know what NASA said. Around 66 million years ago, an asteroid crashed into Earth and ended the age of the dinosaurs! This devastating asteroid crash caused the extinction not just of dinosaurs, but a wide range of other living beings too, including environmental and biotic organisms. It was just one tale filled with terror amongst the total of 1113527 asteroids found so far. However, the terror of asteroid crashes is very much there today for humanity too. Almost on a daily basis, NASA keeps everyone alert about the upcoming planet-killer space rocks such as asteroids and comets. In a recent development, NASA has found a massive 120-foot wide asteroid that is hurtling towards ...

These mysterious meteorites on Earth spawned by GIGANTIC 6561-foot asteroid?

[ad_1] Dark veined meteorites are a big space mystery. But researchers believe they came from a dangerous asteroid. In February 2013, a meteorite exploded over the city of Chelyabinsk, Russia and rained small pebbles all over the streets. These broken down pieces of the meteorite had a strange and mysterious pattern on them. They were covered in thin dark stripes. This had confused the scientists for a long time because meteorite remains can come in different colors due to the composition of the particles, but they never appear with stripes. After studying the event and finding more examples of it in space, it was revealed that this was caused due to a process called shock darkening but it was not understood why this did not happen to other meteorite remains. Notably, this confusing q...

NASA warns of scary asteroid today hurtling towards Earth at 14495 kmph

[ad_1] Asteroid 2018 ER1 is heading at an insane speed towards Earth. Should you worry? NASA tells. Asteroids can be lethal to Earth! Just ask the dinosaurs! Well, they are extinct, courtesy a massive asteroid and the same fate can be ours too. The earlier experiences with asteroids that have crashed on Earth showed the potential of destruction of these space rocks. And that's why NASA has conducted the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission as a planetary defense test against near-Earth objects, including asteroids. But the work is half done yet! NASA and other agencies will study the DART data over the next couple of weeks to understand the details of the asteroid deflection.Meanwhile, NASA is keeping us updated ab...

Giant 160-foot asteroid hurtling towards Earth TODAY, NASA warns

[ad_1] NASA has again warned about two potentially hazardous asteroids that are hurtling towards the Earth today. One of these asteroids measures 160-foot. Asteroids pose a huge hazard to Earth. They seem to come out of nowhere and often it is very difficult to locate them till they are almost upon us, especially if they are coming from the direction of the Sun. To prevent any catastrophe, NASA is carrying out a test. It is preparing to crash a spacecraft on Dimorphos asteroid to test the technology as a means of deflecting asteroids that could be headed towards Earth. That such tests are important is proved by the fact that almost daily, there are various asteroid buzzing by Earth, missing it sometimes by just a few hundred ...

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...

390-foot Asteroid terror flying towards Earth, NASA says; it will come terrifyingly close

[ad_1] 390-foot asteroid is moving close to Earth tomorrow! Should we worry about it crashing? Check what NASA asteroid watch says. While US space agency NASA is getting set to smash its DART mission spacecraft into an asteroid on September 26 to study how it affects the motion of an asteroid in space, a humongous space rock is headed toward Earth. This asteroid will make a terrifyingly close approach to our planet tomorrow. As per NASA Asteroid Watch Dashboard, this asteroid named 2005 RX3 measures 390-foot in size and will pass horrifically close to the Earth. In fact, it will come as close to Earth as 2.95 million miles. Does this asteroid pose a danger to Earth?NASA keeps an active eye on all the near-Earth objects that w...
