[ad_1] Saturday, May 13 will be witnessing two gigantic asteroids rushing towards Earth at great speed. One is a 160-foot giant, while the other is 61-foot in width. Are their large sizes and speed enough to pose a threat to the planet? Asteroids, which are dubbed as near Earth objects, can sometimes be dangerous for the planet depending upon their size. However, the asteroids heading towards Earth today are not dangerous for Earth unless they change their trajectory.Meanwhile, here are the details shared by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory regarding 160 foot and 61 foot giants nearing Earth. Asteroid 2023 JG: Speed, distance, and moreThe US space agency has informed that a gigantic 160-foot asteroid, which is approximately the size of an airplane, is rapidly approaching Earth on Saturd...

It is MASSIVE! 290-foot asteroid 2023 HP1 nearing Earth; Know speed, distance here

[ad_1] How massive the asteroid needs to be to pose a threat to planet Earth? According to NASA, no known asteroid larger than 140 meters in size has a significant chance to hit Earth for the next 100 years. It further stated that only about 40 percent of those asteroids have been discovered till date. Notably, asteroids, which are dubbed as near Earth objects, can sometimes be dangerous for the planet depending upon their size. And on Sunday, May 7, 2023 a 290-foot asteroid is all set to make a close approach to planet Earth. Here is what NASA has informed about the monstrous rock.Asteroid 2023 HP1: Speed, distance, and moreThe US space agency has informed that a gigantic 290-foot asteroid is rapidly approaching Earth on Sunday, May 7.

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...

Asteroids zooming towards Earth on May 1! One is a 100-foot monster, other two are 45-foot giants: NASA

[ad_1] May 1, 2023 will see three asteroids approaching Earth and they will get very close. Out of these three asteroids, one is as large as 100-foot while the other two are 45-foot and 46-foot wide. According to NASA, any asteroid that comes within 4.6 million miles or 7.5 million kilometers of Earth, or is larger than approximately 150 meters, is considered potentially dangerous.Therefore, in order to stay alert and be prepared to avoid any such incidents and situations where human lives can be lost, NASA keeps an eye on the movement of asteroids, their speed, how close will they come to Earth, and more. The space organisation uses its telescopes and observatories like NEOWISE to track and study asteroids. It also uses a variety of ground based telescopes like Atacama Large Millimeter...

147-foot asteroid 2023 HW5 nearing Earth today; NASA reveals its speed, distance, more

[ad_1] We don't get to know about all the space objects that fly close to planet Earth. Though NASA does reveal information about spectacular celestial events taking place in space, like planet Jupiter being seen alongside various other planets in the night sky and other activities taking place in space, but details regarding other objects are mostly not widely dispensed to the general public. However, the US space agency does make sure that people are informed of certain threats like asteroids approaching Earth. It provides all the details like size, distance to Earth, speed, and more. Now, according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), two gigantic asteroids are travelling towards planet Earth today, April 29, 2023.Asteroid 2023 HW5According to CNEOS, the asteroid 2023 HW5 some ...

NASA says 2 MASSIVE asteroids, including one that is 55-foot wide, nearing Earth today

[ad_1] After 4 gigantic asteroids including one that is 1500-foot, dubbed 2006 HV5, passed Earth on Wednesday, there are two other asteroids (though not that massive!) in the queue nearing the planet today, April 27, 2023. Are these asteroids dangerous? Well, not all the objects in outer space nearing Earth, including asteroids and comets, pose a threat to the planet. The only time of concern will be when these objects are too large and the chances of their collision with planet Earth are very high. Also, these asteroids have a nasty habit of coming in out of the Sun and the glare prevents space agencies like NASA from locating them till they are almost near Earth. By then, it may be too late to take any action to stop them.In the case of the two asteroids nearing Earth today, the dange...

90-foot, 88-foot asteroids zooming towards Earth at mind boggling speed, reveals NASA

[ad_1] Tuesday, April 25, 2023, will witness four asteroids approaching very close to planet Earth. Out of these four asteroids, two are as large as 90-foot and 88-foot. Will these asteroids be dangerous to the planet? No, not all the objects in outer space nearing Earth, including asteroids, pose a threat to the planet. The only time of concern will be when these objects are too large and the chances of their collision with planet Earth is very high. In the case of these asteroids, the danger is not serious even though they will be getting too close to Earth for comfort. Problem now is that these asteroids are too close to Earth to do anything about any of them. If discovered on time, steps can be taken.Therefore, in order to stay alert and be prepared to avoid such incidents and situa...

[ad_1] Among all the objects revolving around in the universe, not all are considered hazardous. However, asteroids, which are dubbed as near Earth objects, can sometimes be dangerous for the planet depending upon their size. It is even believed that the collision of a huge asteroid with asteroid is the reason behind the extinction of the dinosaurs and many other species. And today, Sunday, April 23, a 120-foot asteroid is all set to make a close approach to planet Earth.
