nasa asteroid 2018 UQ1

[ad_1] With the help of ground-based telescopes such as the Pans-STARRS1 in Maui, Hawaii and the Catalina Sky Survey near Tucson, Arizona, NASA has identified thousands of near-Earth objects such as asteroids. Moreover, NASA's space-based telescope called NEOWISE has identified hundreds of others while scanning the skies at near-infrared wavelengths of light from its polar orbit around Earth. NASA uses its ground-based radar to gather precise data about the asteroid's path and its characteristics.This advanced tech helps NASA discover new asteroids nearly every day and one has been predicted to approach Earth today too. Asteroid 2018 UQ1An asteroid named Asteroid 2018 UQ1, will make its closest approach to Earth today, March 17, NASA has revealed! It will pass Earth at a distance of ap...

[ad_1] Asteroids frequently come near Earth, but they don't usually pose any danger since they pass the planet at a safe distance. Shockingly, astronomers have spotted three near-Earth asteroids (NEA) hiding in the glare of the Sun. One of the asteroids is the largest object that is potentially hazardous to Earth to be discovered in the last eight years. This is a notoriously challenging region for observations because asteroid hunters must contend with the glare of the Sun.NASA has also warned that one potentially hazardous asteroid is on its way towards Earth and it will pass by the planet very closely soon! Asteroid 2018 UQ1 informationNASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office has warned that the asteroid, named Asteroid 2018 UQ1, will make its closest approach to Earth tomorrow,...
