NASA asteroid warning! Plane-sized asteroid headed for Earth today, 10-10-2022

[ad_1] NASA has issued a warning against an asteroid today. Does this space rock pose any danger to Earth? The months of August and September have witnessed nearly 35 asteroid flybys each and October is set to match, if not surpass, that number. Two asteroids passed by the planet at extremely close distances just yesterday and NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office has warned that two more asteroids are set for close approaches with Earth today. One of them is nearly as big as an aircraft and is hurtling towards the planet at dangerous speed. Here's what NASA said about the asteroid.Asteroid 2022 SE10NASA has warned that an asteroid named 2022 SE10 is hurtling towards Earth today, October 10.

Asteroid today: Menacing space rock speeding at 59760 kmph towards Earth

[ad_1] Alert! Another asteroid is coming towards us at mind-boggling speed today! Know what NASA said about this speeding space rock. According to NASA, asteroids are ancient space rocks, effectively rubble, left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. Most of them can be found within the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Interaction with a planet's gravitational field, especially Jupiter, can knock asteroids off their orbits and send them hurtling in all directions. NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office keeps a check on these Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) for any potential collision with Earth and declares them as Potentially Hazardous Objects if they come within around 8 million kilometers of Earth.Asteroid 2022 TS key detailsNASA...

NASA alert: Speedy 130-foot asteroid on its way towards Earth! Danger looming?

[ad_1] Could this space rock which is headed for Earth be a danger? Here’s what NASA says about this asteroid. NASA recently conducted its first planetary defense test against potential world-killing asteroids. Named the Double Asteroid Detection Test or DART test, the mission's aim was to smash a spacecraft into the Dimorphos asteroid to deflect it away from its path. Although this test was successful, it is yet not known whether the asteroid was actually deflected. So, the Earth is not yet safe from asteroid impact. In fact, a huge asteroid is already on its way towards Earth, NASA has warned.Asteroid 2022 SU21 key detailsNASA has warned that an asteroid named Asteroid 2022 SU21 is headed for Earth and is expected to fly closely past the planet tomorrow, October 7. It will make its ...

Asteroid today: Menacing space rock heading for Earth today! Clocked at 54216 kmph

[ad_1] Beware! An asteroid is heading for Earth today at blistering speed. Know what NASA says about this space rock. Asteroids have been flying by Earth closely all year. Last month alone witnessed nearly 40 asteroids passing by and October is set to follow the trend as more than 7 asteroids have already passed by Earth closely. NASA' Planetary Defense Coordination Office has classified all these asteroids as “Potentially Hazardous Objects” due to the close proximity with which they pass by Earth. Now, another one is on its way to Earth today.Asteroid 2022 SM21 detailsAccording to NASA, Asteroid 2022 SM21 is already on its way towards the planet, travelling at a staggering speed of 54216 kilometers per hour. The asteroid wil...

NASA alert! Planet-killer 93-foot asteroid zooming towards Earth today; SHOCKING discovery

[ad_1] Will this asteroid impact the planet and cause global catastrophe? Here’s what NASA says about this scary space rock. Earth has been in the firing line of various space phenomena these past couple of weeks including solar storms and asteroids. On the planet itself hurricanes have been relentless causing serious damage. While asteroids have not caused any damage, but they have been a constant threat as more than 40 asteroids have flown by Earth at very close quarters in the last month alone. Now, NASA has warned that another asteroid, a 92-foot monster, is on its way and it could be a potential planet-killer. Shockingly, it was discovered 2 days ago on October 2!Key details about Asteroid 2022 TFNASA's Planetary Defense...

Asteroid today: Dangerous space rock hurtling towards Earth! Clocked at 54972 kmph

[ad_1] NASA has warned that an aircraft-sized asteroid is hurtling towards Earth today! How dangerous is it? NASA has deployed its latest and most complicated technological assets to keep a close watch on the dangerous asteroids coming towards Earth. NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office is responsible for monitoring the skies and keeping a watch on various Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). If any celestial object is at risk of Earth impact, it red flags and issues the alert. NASA has red flagged an asteroid named Asteroid 2022 SC9 which is expected to fly past Earth at an extremely close distance. Although the asteroid is not heading for impact with Earth, it was still classified as a Potentially Hazardous Object due to the ...

Asteroid today: Dangerous space rock just zoomed past Earth at 25200 kmph

[ad_1] Another asteroid just zoomed past Earth today! Know what NASA said. Now that NASA has successfully conducted its first planetary defense test against rogue asteroids which hurtle towards Earth and generate fear, the world can breathe a sigh of relief. However, NASA is not done yet. NASA and other agencies will study the DART data over the next few weeks to determine the details of the asteroid deflection which will provide greater knowledge as to what happens when a craft is crashed against a space rock. But until then, we're still not safe from asteroids, and one just flew past Earth today.Asteroid 2022 SZNASA has warned that a huge asteroid, named Asteroid 2022 SZ has just flown past the planet.

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...
