1-mtr Asteroid just COLLIDED with Earth today over the English Channel! Triumph for ESA

[ad_1] The early hours of February 13th saw a cosmic visitor hit Earth! Yes, you read that right! It was a small 1-meter-to-2-meter wide asteroid. The asteroid known as Asteroid 2023 CX1 hit Earth's atmosphere and exploded in a blazing flash that made it appear brighter than the Moon. The event occurred in the English Channel. ESA reported this asteroid just before it entered Earth's atmosphere over northern France early this morning. "Only the 7th time an asteroid impact has been predicted - but a sign of the rapid advances in global detection capabilities!" ESA tweeted triumphantly. Asteroid 2023 CX1 was travelling at a mind-boggling speed of 18 kilometers per second. Surprisingly, Asteroid 2023 CX1 was discovered on February 12, 2023. This near-Earth object belongs to the Aten gr...

Meteoroid crippled International Space Station capsule! Crew to be rescued soon

[ad_1] The capsule on the International Space Station was crippled by a meteoroid just ahead of the crew departing for Earth, it has been revealed. After the horrific recent events when their spaceship's coolant leaked in such a dramatic fashion just ahead of their departure for Earth from the International Space Station, the stuck crew will be rescued by a new Russian space corporation Roscosmos' capsule, it has been announced. Roscosmos will launch a new spacecraft to bring some of the crew back to Earth. The scary part is that it has been confirmed that the leak in the Soyuz capsule was caused by a micrometeoroid crashing into it. NASA says that a micrometeoroid is a particle smaller than a grain of sand. However, even this small a thing can have such a big effect on the hard su...

Historic! NASA records one of the largest craters ever witnessed forming in solar system

[ad_1] NASA’s InSight lander recorded one of the largest craters ever witnessed forming any place in the solar system. Where? On Mars. NASA's InSight lander has recorded one of the largest craters ever witnessed forming any place in the solar system. Where? On Mars. While observing the images and seismic data, NASA has documented many larger craters during the Mars mission, but this one is said to be the largest seen forming. While nearing the end of its life, NASA's InSight lander recorded a magnitude 4 quake on the Red Planet on December 24, 2021. Later, the reason was found to have been a meteoroid strike. It is estimated to be one of the biggest seen on Mars. Meteoroids are the objects in space that range in size from dust grains to small asteroids.While observing the before-and-a...

This meteorite hit a car in New York!

[ad_1] Peekskill meteorite had slammed into a car back in 1992 with a speed of 14.16 kmps. Know what had happened. You must have seen a streak of light passing in the night sky a number of times. These so-called ‘shooting stars,” have different names depending on how they reach the Earth. NASA explains that meteorites are objects in space that range in size from dust grains to small asteroids. Consider them as “space rocks." Occasionally, these space rocks enter Earth's atmosphere to burn up and they can be seen as fireballs or “shooting stars”, which are known as meteors. However, in case, a meteoroid survives the travel through the atmosphere and hits the ground on Earth then it's called a meteorite, NASA explained. But do you know, there is a famous Meteorite named Peekskill w...
