140-foot Asteroid heading for Earth, just days after HORROR asteroid HITS planet, says NASA

[ad_1] Horrifyingly, an asteroid actually hit Earth, NASA revealed. Now, NASA has alerted about a 140-foot-wide asteroid heading this way. Horrifyingly, just hours before an asteroid strike on Earth, NASA realised it was on a collision course with Earth and would hit for sure. The asteroid strike, on November 19, caused skies over southern Ontario, Canada, to light up brightly as astonished people looked on. The asteroid that hit Earth was named 2022 WJ1. Thankfully, it didn't harm anyone, but NASA scientists informed that it "streaked across the sky high in Earth's atmosphere, broke up, and likely scattered small meteorites over the southern coastline of Lake Ontario." Surprising fact? The asteroid was detected just three and a half an hour before impact. Reason for the fortunate end...

75-foot asteroid set to get dangerously close to Earth today, reveals NASA

[ad_1] NASA says that a 75-foot wide asteroid will be coming dangerously close to the Earth today, November 19. Know the consequences that this huge asteroid has. After multiple failed attempts, NASA was finally able to launch the Artemis 1 Moon rocket successfully. The mission is going to be the precursor before the American space agency sends crewed spacecraft to the Moon again. But while we are creating milestones in space exploration, the same space has become a source of terror for us. The threat comes from these asteroids that approach the Earth at dangerously close distances. They can easily get pulled in by the gravitational force of the Earth, strike our planet and cause massive destruction. Today, November 19, this threat comes from a 75-foot wide asteroid which will be comi...

240-foot asteroid set to get dangerously close to Earth today, warns NASA

[ad_1] NASA warns that a humongous 240-foot wide asteroid will be coming dangerously close to the Earth today, November 12. Know the consequences that a gigantic asteroid has. Ever since the new class of asteroids have been discovered, which are roaming entirely within the Earth's orbit, the threat of an asteroid strike has increased multifold on us. The threat comes from these asteroids as most cannot be tracked due to the Sun's glare and the photosensitive nature of the telescopes. This means that any of these asteroids can blindside astronomers and strike Earth without warning. But the threat is bigger than that. This also means that any asteroid passing by Earth can get hit by one of these smaller asteroids and they can get redirected straight towards Earth and that can have tragi...

Terrifying! A new class of Planet-killer asteroids create BIG threat for Earth

[ad_1] Encased within the orbit of Earth and Venus, a new class of planet-killer asteroids have been discovered recently. They highlight a great danger for the Earth in the coming days. Recently, scientists made a discovery that can have terrifying consequences for us. A group of researchers found three new asteroids, one of them labeled ‘potentially hazardous', orbiting in the space between Earth and Venus. While NASA has been tracking more than 20,000 near-Earth objects (NEOs), it was not known that asteroids existed in this particular space. And the main reason behind it was the Sun and its glare. These asteroids have the potential to catch us blindsided and strike us when we don't expect them. And if that happens, even the DART planetary defense system would not be able to save us...

This huge 4921-foot HIDDEN asteroid can HIT Earth, study warns of danger to humanity

[ad_1] Scientists have discovered the largest potentially hazardous asteroid in the last eight years which went undetected by hiding behind the Sun. It can strike the Earth one day. The various telescopes on Earth and on satellites orbiting the Earth have discovered more than 20,000 near-Earth objects (NEOs), which could someday in future hit our planet. But when it comes to discovering asteroids roaming completely within Earth's orbit, our record is very poor. So far, we have only discovered 25 such asteroids. The reason behind it is that the glare of the Sun stops modern telescopes from fully gazing around the sky to find out asteroids that can be lethal to our planet. A study has recently discovered one such space rock and by its claims, it is the largest potentially hazardous aste...

Wow! 2500-foot hazardous Asteroid 2022 RM4 coming towards Earth, warns NASA

[ad_1] NASA warns that a gigantic 2500-foot wide hazardous Asteroid 2022 RM4 will be coming dangerously close to the Earth on November 1, 2022. Know the scary consequences. For the last few months, the Earth has seen many big asteroids fly by, but now a truly massive asteroid is coming close to it. All we have witnessed are smaller space rocks between 100 to 500 feet in width, which could be dangerous if they struck the planet but they would not be able to drive humanity to extinction. But that is about to change. According to NASA data, a 2500-foot potentially hazardous asteroid 2022 will be making its closest approach to the Earth on November 1, 2022. This is a very concerning development because if this asteroid struck the Earth, it could flatten hundreds of kilometers of land, cau...

Dangerous asteroid 2022 RB5 moving towards Earth at 19152 kmph TODAY, warns NASA

[ad_1] NASA warns that a huge 115-foot wide asteroid will be coming dangerously close to the Earth today, October 22. It appears that the Earth cannot possibly escape from the constant onslaught of asteroids. Lately, we have been witnessing an increased number of asteroids making their way towards the Earth. These asteroids are not kilometers-wide gigantic space rocks that can cause another mini ice age, but they are still large enough that if they smashed against our planet they can easily flatten a large surface area. One of them, a 115-foot wide death rock, is approaching dangerously close to the Earth today, according to reports by NASA. The Earth has been lucky so far, but will it avoid an asteroid strike again today? Read on to find out.Big asteroid to approach the Earth todayTh...

Dangerous asteroid moving towards Earth at 55728 kmph TODAY, warns NASA

[ad_1] NASA warns that a huge 95-foot wide asteroid will be coming dangerously close to the Earth today, October 15. The perils of an asteroid strike is known to all. We have grown up reading about the 10-kilometers wide asteroid that struck the Earth 65-million years ago and killed all non-avian dinosaurs, caused a mini ice age and made Earth inhospitable for life for many years. And that is why scientists do not take any asteroids lightly, despite its size for even small asteroids can cause great destruction. Today, October 15, a 95-foot wide asteroid is going to make its closest approach towards our planet, as per NASA. And even at its size, the asteroid is capable of destroying an entire city if it does make an impact. So, what are the chances? Read on to find out.Massive asteroid...

32 minutes that matter! Asteroid’s path altered by NASA

[ad_1] The spacecraft NASA deliberately crashed into an asteroid succeeded in nudging the rocky moonlet from its natural path. The spacecraft NASA deliberately crashed into an asteroid last month succeeded in nudging the rocky moonlet from its natural path into a faster orbit, marking the first time humanity has altered the motion of a celestial body, the U.S. space agency announced on Tuesday. The $330 million proof-of-concept mission, which was seven years in development, also represented the world's first test of a planetary defense system designed to prevent a potential doomsday meteorite collision with Earth. Findings of telescope observations unveiled at a NASA news briefing in Washington confirmed the suicide test flight of the DART spacecraft on Sept. 26 achieved its prim...

HUGE 110-foot wide asteroid to approach the Earth today, says NASA; Strike chance looming?

[ad_1] NASA warns that a huge 110-foot wide asteroid will be coming dangerously close to the Earth today, October 9. On Tuesday, October 11, NASA will hold a briefing to give an update on the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) conducted last month. The briefing will reveal important information around the damage done by the DART impactor and the amount by which the path of the asteroid Dimorphos was altered. And this information cannot come any sooner as the Earth keeps a wary eye on massive asteroids flying by every day. Today itself (October 9), a massive 110-foot wide asteroid is set to make a dangerously close approach to our planet. If it somehow deflects and heads towards the Earth, there could be a huge disaster. So, how likely is the chance of an asteroid strike? Read on ...
