Gigantic 110-foot Asteroid 2022 QZ6 to zoom past Earth on Wednesday

[ad_1] A gigantic 110 feet wide asteroid named Asteroid 2022 QZ6 is expected to zoom past Earth tomorrow- Wednesday. Here’s what you need to know. Nasa defines asteroids as rocky, airless remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. Most of them can be found orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter within the main asteroid belt. Asteroids come in all shapes and sizes, with the largest being nearly 530 kilometers in diameter called Vesta. Earth is being bombarded with asteroids this year. August alone has seen more than 35 asteroids passing by Earth closely. Now, another one is on its way.Asteroid 2022 QZ6 to zoom past EarthA 110 feet wide asteroid named Asteroid 2022 QZ6 is exp...

Plane-sized asteroid to make closest approach on Aug 31, says NASA; scary space rock is a huge 130-ft wide

[ad_1] NASA has warned that a massive 130-foot wide Asteroid 2022 QX 1 will make its closest approach towards Earth on August 31. Here's all you need to know. Earth may face a bit of a danger from this upcoming space rock hurtling along in space at terrifying speed! Fortunately, Earth has escaped two massive "potentially hazardous" asteroids after they made their closest approach towards Earth recently. A 130-foot-sized Asteroid 2022 QX4 and another 100-foot Asteroid passed our planet at a marginal distance. But the fear of these horrific space rocks is not over yet! The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has issued a warning that another massive airplane-sized space rock, asteroid 2022 QX1, will reach its c...

Scary Asteroid 2022 QX4, Asteroid 2022 QX1 heading for Earth, will get too close for comfort

[ad_1] Asteroid 2022 QX4 and 2022 QX1 will pass close to the Earth today on Aug 29 and 31, 2022 respectively. If you are a space fanatic and love skygazing, you might not want to put your telescope aside for this week. At least five asteroids will be flying past our planet between August 29 and September 1. These space rocks are not on their way to strike Earth's surface as they will make a close pass to earth from a safe distance. Hence, these asteroids are not qualified as a ‘potentially hazardous object' according to Nasa. The US space agency keeps a track of asteroids and comets that will make relatively close approaches to Earth. Check out these asteroids that will be approaching Earth between August 29 to September 1, 2...

NASA warning: Asteroid 2017 BU to come terrifyingly close to Earth today! Clocked at 25200 kmph

[ad_1] Asteroid 2017 BU will pass Earth at a terrifyingly close distance today, August 29. Here's what NASA says about the asteroid. August has witnessed numerous asteroid flybys. According to NASA, more than 35 asteroids have already flown past Earth this month. Some have been too close for comfort. Continuing this pattern, another asteroid named Asteroid 2017 BU will pass Earth today, August 29 at a terrifyingly close distance. This space rock is not expected to impact with Earth, however that could change if the asteroid's trajectory changes due to the pull by Earth's gravitational field. Here's what NASA says about the asteroid.Asteroid 2017 BU to come terrifyingly close to Earth todayAsteroid 2017 BU is one of two astero...

Scary! A 100-foot asteroid hurtling towards Earth today, August 28; NASA shares details

[ad_1] A 100-foot asteroid is hurtling towards Earth today, August 28! NASA warned about the massive space rock. Will this asteroid strike the Earth? Yesterday, Earth narrowly escaped a giant asteroid named Asteroid NEO 2022 QQ4, which was 100-foot in diameter. However, it flew safely past the Earth. Its closest approach to the Earth was 5.93 million kilometres. NASA's CNEOS has revealed that it travelled at a speed of 7.23 km per second. These giant rocks in space travel around the Sun, but they can change their paths due to the gravitational force of planets and sometimes even collide with them as happened with the asteroid that caused the extinction of dinosaurs when it crashed into the Earth! However, it may happen only i...

Terror coming! Huge Asteroid 2017 BU heading towards Earth.

[ad_1] Asteroid 2017 BU will pass close to the Earth today on Aug 29, 2022. Will the aeroplane-sized Asteroid 2017 BU come dangerously close to Earth? After the fiery crash of a small asteroid onto Earth recently, all asteroids coming close to our planet have been making huge headlines. NASA keeps a track of asteroids and comets that will make relatively close approaches to Earth in order to ensure there is no tragedy. However, the small asteroids are tough to locate till the last moment and may even escape scrutiny. But, according to the latest report, a new one has been caught. A 30ft asteroid will be making a close pass to Earth and will pass within 6.05 million kilometres on August 29. Dubbed as Asteroid 2017 BU, it will ...
