NASA alert! Asteroid 2023 HT6 coming dangerously close to Earth at 33007 kmph today

[ad_1] The history of past incidents has shown that asteroids can pose a substantial threat to Earth. Not just dinosaurs, many other extinction events have been ascribed to asteroids, comets and other cosmic objects. However, the majority of asteroids that enter the planet's atmosphere burn up and disintegrate before reaching it. Space agencies such as NASA take the responsibility of monitoring these dangerous asteroids, that may endanger the planet. NASA provides advanced warning of potentially hazardous asteroids approaching Earth through the JPL watchboard.Today, NASA has alerted about a scary asteroid that is set to make a perilously close approach towards our planet. NASA's CNEOS data has also revealed that it is travelling at a terrifying speed of 33007 km per hour. This asteroid ...

Aircraft-sized asteroid poses grave danger in a close encounter with Earth!

[ad_1] Although asteroids are in elliptical orbits far out in space, these rocks also rotate, sometimes quite erratically in their orbit. Interaction with the gravitational field of a planet can cause asteroids to deviate from their trajectory and impact a planet like Earth. These space rocks are usually made up of rocks, but they can also be made of metals such as nickel and iron, or even clay. The increasing proximity of asteroids to Earth makes it imperative for space agencies to continuously monitor them.In response to an approaching asteroid today, NASA has issued a warning. Know the asteroid's details here. Asteroid 2006 HX57 detailsIt has been reported by NASA that the asteroid, identified as Asteroid 2006 HX57, is close to Earth, traveling at 39655 kilometers per hour. It will m...

[ad_1] An enormous asteroid is currently headed towards Earth, and what's concerning is that it's predicted to come perilously close! According to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, three asteroids are due to make their closest approach to Earth today. One of them is a giant 180-foot asteroid named 2023 HZ4, which is hurtling towards Earth and will pass very close on May 4th, which happens to be today. Should you worry about this upcoming giant asteroid? Know what NASA has revealed.Danger of asteroid 2023 HZ4As per the NASA asteroid tracking data, Asteroid 2023 HZ4 will come very close to the Earth today, May 4. It will come as close as 1.91 million miles and it will be travelling at a speed of 81907 kmph. The asteroid 2023 HZ4 was discovered very recently, April 24, 2023, and it belongs...

524-foot Asteroid, larger than London Eye, to come scarily close after King Charles coronation

[ad_1] A massive and dangerous 524-foot Asteroid, which is estimated to be larger than the London Eye, is set to come terrifuyingly close to Earth just a day after King Charles coronation in the UK. The London Eye is 135 metres or 443 feet high.It has been named as Asteroid 2023 HP1 by NASA and it is estimated to be travelling towards Earth at a fearsome speed of 11.6 km per second. The date of this scarily close approach is Sunday, May 7, 2023 and the time has been estimated at around 10.40pm. How close will this gigantic asteroid get to Earth? The estimated distance has been calculated to about 6 million miles. While that may not seem as very close, but in terms of space, this is a minuscule amount and space agencies will be keeping a watchful eye on it for any deviations from its rou...

This asteroid will come alarmingly close to Earth! NASA clocks it at 32152 kmph

[ad_1] A 100-feet wide asteroid just passed Earth, but there is another space rock on the way and it is set to make quite a scary encounter with our planet. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has issued an alert about a small yet dangerous asteroid speeding towards Earth.NASA has issued an alert as Asteroid 2023 HV5, which is about 41 feet wide - the size of a bus - is expected to come very close to Earth on May 3. According to NASA's JPL, any asteroid that approaches within 4.6 million miles or 7.5 million kilometers of Earth is considered potentially hazardous, and an alert is issued. Whether this asteroid poses a danger to Earth or not is a question that NASA has answered, and here's what it has to say.

NASA alert! 87-foot asteroid hurtling towards Earth TODAY at 17235 kmph,

[ad_1] Despite the fact that there are a huge number of asteroids in space, they seldom pose a threat to Earth. Even when they approach the planet for a close encounter, the majority of them burn up in the atmosphere, causing no harm to Earth. But history bears evidence that once a monster rock hits the planet, the consequences can be like a nightmare! Chicxulub impact - the asteroid strike around 66 million years ago, is one of those examples.NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has released an alert regarding a huge asteroid known as 2023 GF2 that is rapidly approaching Earth and will come dangerously close. This potentially hazardous asteroid, which measures 87 feet, is predicted to pass close to Earth on April 30. NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office issues an alert and raises a...

120-foot Asteroid 2023 HW1 rushing towards Earth at a jaw-dropping 36861 kmph, says NASA

[ad_1] Earth has recently witnessed a terrifying 1500-foot-wide asteroid passing closely past the planet. Thankfully, Earth successfully escaped the danger of this potentially hazardous asteroid yesterday. Now NASA has warned about a new threat that can keep scientists worried about its closest approach and it is coming tomorrow. As per the asteroid tracking data from NASA, Asteroid 2023 HW1 will fly past the Earth tomorrow, April 28 at a close distance of just 2.66 million miles. This 120-foot-wide asteroid is coming at a fiery speed of 36861 kmph, NASA's CNEOS data has revealed.The asteroid 2023 HW1 was detected only recently, on April 18, 2023 and it belongs to the Apollo group.

1007-foot asteroid speeding at 62723 kmph towards Earth, NASA warns

[ad_1] A colossal space rock is on its way to Earth and it is coming at a mind-numbing speed! NASA has alerted the public about the gigantic Asteroid 2006 HV5 that will come worryingly close to Earth on April 26. According to NASA, near-Earth asteroids refer to celestial objects that circle the Sun and come near the Earth's orbit. If these asteroids collide with our planet, they can cause substantial damage depending on their size. To avoid potential collisions and damage, space agencies such as NASA and ESA carefully observe any Potentially Hazardous Objects. The latest is this Eiffel-Tower-sized asteroid that is speeding towards Earth. Should you worry? Know what NASA said.

NASA alert! Asteroid 2023 HJ2 set to buzz Earth from dangerously close distance TODAY

[ad_1] NASA says that most asteroids come from the asteroid belt situated between Mars and Jupiter. These asteroids have an elliptical orbit, and their rotation is often erratic, tumbling through space. However, the gravitational force of the planets in the solar system can alter their direction and send them hurling randomly towards the inner solar system, including towards Earth. That's why NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory keeps an active eye on these upcoming asteroids. Now, NASA has issued an alert about an asteroid hurtling toward Earth and it is set to come dangerously close.The potential threat is from an asteroid named 2023 HJ2, which measures 65 feet and is expected to come very close to Earth today on April 24, according to information provided by NASA.

GIANT 130-foot asteroid rushing towards Earth TODAY at 42404 kmph, NASA warns

[ad_1] Giant asteroids are often found orbiting the Sun in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. But they also pose a potential danger to Earth if they stray out of there and head towards a collision with our planet. A perfect example of such a mishap in the past is the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago on EarthThe impact of the asteroid caused a terrifyingly large amount of energy to be released, resulting in extensive environmental alterations that eventually led to the extinction of dinosaurs and several other species. These asteroids can surely be lethal to Earth.Now, five such dangerous asteroids are rushing toward Earth today! The largest of them all is said to have a diameter of 130-foot, which is equal to an airplane. It is dubbed asteroid 2023 HX, whic...
