NASA warns of 190-foot asteroid rushing towards Earth, reveals top speed, trajectory

[ad_1] A humongous 190-foot asteroid is heading towards Earth and it could make a close approach as soon as today! Is there cause for worry? How close will it get? NASA's Near-Earth Object Wide Field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) completes its trip around the Sun every 12 months, like Earth. The survey telescope takes images throughout its journey which are then stitched together to form a sky-map, according to NASA. This sky-map shows the positions and the brightness of millions of celestial objects in space. NEOWISE also helps scientists keep a watch for any asteroids which could potentially impact the Earth. And new ones are being found frequently. NASA has now issued an asteroid warning for an asteroid which is heading for Earth today.Asteroid 2019 AY3 detailsNASA's Planetary...

130-foot asteroid to come scarily close to Earth TODAY, says NASA; Should you worry?

[ad_1] A plane-sized 130-foot asteroid is to come extremely close to Earth today. NASA says it is hazardous for Earth. Should you worry about it? Know here. Did you know, dinosaurs were in the prime of their lives during the late Cretaceous period when an asteroid drove them into extinction, says a latest study. This dinosaur-killing asteroid was between 10.6 and 80.9 km in diameter and it crashed in Chicxulub, near the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico around 65 million years ago. Think about it, if a giant asteroid can end the era of dinosaurs, then what will happen if a massive asteroid hits our planet now? Scary! Right? Hence, to detect the terror of these monster rocks, NASA and other agencies keep an active eye on these rocks and inform in advance.Five such potentially hazardous aster...

400-foot asteroid heading for Earth on Christmas Day; NASA clocks it at a scary 25028 kmph

[ad_1] NASA has warned about this giant 400-foot-wide potentially hazardous asteroid, which will come extremely close to Earth today. Should you worry? Know what NASA said. Even as you are celebrating Christmas with your friends, family, and loved ones, there is an enormous asteroid rushing towards the Earth and is set to come dangerously close. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory informed on its portal that a potentially hazardous asteroid of a whopping 400-foot in diameter is rushing towards the Earth on December 25, that is today. This asteroid dubbed 2022 TE14 will make an uncomfortably close approach to the Earth. At its worst, a giant asteroid collision with Earth can have disastrous consequences, it can even end the whole of humankind on the planet.Do you remember those tales abou...

Alert! This asteroid will get even CLOSER than the moon to Earth, says NASA

[ad_1] NASA has warned about this small yet potentially hazardous space rock, which will come extremely close to Earth today. It will be even closer than the moon. There are over 1.1 million asteroids in our solar system, and they are more often found orbiting the Sun in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The asteroid belt contains a huge number of asteroids larger than 1 kilometre or 0.6 miles in diameter, while others are smaller in size. One of those small asteroids is now on its way toward Earth at a terrifying speed of 89220 kmph, CNEOS data revealed. This small asteroid measures 18-foot or 5 metres in diameter and is named 2022 YJ- size of a car. Well, you must be thinking that if this asteroid is small, then what makes it a matter of concern?It is the proximity! A...

220-foot asteroid on way to Earth, says NASA; gigantic rock speeding at a fiery 62296 kmph

[ad_1] A potentially hazardous, gigantic 220-foot asteroid named 2022 WP11 is all set to make its closest approach to Earth, NASA warned. Do you know that asteroids are also called planetoids? While some asteroids may be small at just a few feet, others are as big as hundreds of kilometres. These asteroids revolving around the sun are too small to be called planets hence, these are known as planetoids or minor planets. However, despite this, these asteroids can be dangerous to Earth, just like the Chicxulub asteroid, which ended the era of dinosaurs. It was said to be a 100 million-megaton blast that devastated the Gulf of Mexico region. Hence, to detect the terror of these asteroids in advance, NASA and its tech keep constant track of all upcoming ones that come too close for comfort...

Asteroid big as a bus coming towards Earth today! Blitzing its way at 24959 kmph

[ad_1] NASA has warned about this perilous asteroid, which will come extremely close to Earth today. An asteroid coming towards Earth has been dubbed as potentially hazardous by the US space agency NASA. While a huge number of asteroids pass far away from Earth, there are many which come too close to the planet and these are then dubbed as being hazardous objects. The entire process is decided by the size of the asteroid as well as the close approach to Earth and that is what has happened to the asteroid today.To determine the potential threat from an asteroid or near-Earth object, NASA keeps a close eye on all the upcoming objects such as asteroids and even comets. Now, asteroid 2022 XD has been spotted approaching the Earth. It is 40-foot asteroid, but it will make a terrifyingly cl...

1300-foot asteroid rushing towards Earth today; Space rock is a horror in size and speed

[ad_1] A giant 1300-foot-sized asteroid is hurtling towards Earth at a terrifying speed of 103833 km per hour. Here’s what NASA experts say about this monster rock. There are a lot of asteroids that NASA scientists track on a daily basis. Even the current known asteroid count is 1113527. But do asteroids hit the Earth? Sadly, the answer is yes! Just a couple of weeks ago, NASA spotted an asteroid just three hours before it actually hit Earth. 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." Another relieving fact is that the asteroid was just roughly 1 meter (3 feet) wide. So, if this small asteroid can grab so much a...

140-foot asteroid rushing towards close approach to Earth at blazing speed of 51875 kmph

[ad_1] NASA confirmed that a 140-foot asteroid is on its way to Earth at a massive speed of 51875 kmph. Earth may face a bit of danger from this upcoming asteroid hurtling towards Earth at terrifying speed! A huge "potentially hazardous" asteroid zoomed by yesterday after it made its closest approach towards Earth. This was a 62-foot-sized Asteroid 2022 UD71. But the fear of these horrific space rocks is not over! The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has issued a warning that another massive airplane-sized space rock, asteroid 2022 WP5, will make its closest approach to Earth today. NASA has flagged it as a "potentially hazardous object".The reason is its close proximity! According to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the upcoming asteroid is 140-foot in size...

Triple Terror! 3 giant asteroids coming towards Earth today; NASA reveals speed and more

[ad_1] NASA has warned about three potentially hazardous asteroids, one of which measures a massive 140-foot in size, that are coming towards Earth. Know what NASA says. Some asteroids surprise astronomers and come out of nowhere to hit Earth as happened just a few days ago. This asteroid was discovered just a few hours before impact. Thankfully, the undetected asteroid was too small in size to cause any serious impact and it ended up raining a few meteorites on Canada as most of it burned up in the atmosphere. However, that might not be the case every time! You must have heard tales about the infamous Chicxulub asteroid that caused massive destruction on Earth around 66 million years ago. This is the asteroid that ended the era of the dinosaurs. And that is why the fear of asteroids ...

150-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 150-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...
