NASA spots dangerous 64-foot wide asteroid zooming towards Earth today

[ad_1] NASA warns that a huge 64-foot wide asteroid will be coming dangerously close to the Earth today, December 15. Is there a danger of an asteroid strike? Find out. The peak of the Geminid meteor shower was yesterday, December 14, but you can still watch the bright meteors moving across the sky for a few more days. However, you may see a particularly bright object across the sky and it might not be a meteor shower but a hazardous asteroid speeding towards the Earth. NASA has spotted a 64-foot wide asteroid that will be making its closest approach to our planet today, December 15. The risk is that an asteroid even this size can flatten a large landmass. So, how likely is the chance of an asteroid strike? Read on to find out.Dangerous asteroid headed for the EarthNASA reports on the...

Massive 108-foot wide asteroid to approach very close to Earth today, says NASA

[ad_1] NASA warns that a huge 108-foot wide asteroid will be coming dangerously close to the Earth today, December 3. Is there a danger of an asteroid strike? Find out. The NASA Orion spacecraft has left the orbit of the Moon and is now headed towards the Earth. And while this is a great moment for astronomy enthusiasts as the completion of this mission will lead to the first crewed mission to the Moon in many decades, this is not the only thing headed for the Earth. A large 108-foot wide asteroid is also headed towards the Earth today, December 3, as per NASA. The asteroid is going to approach our planet from a dangerously close distance. The risk is, if it gets pulled in by the Earth's gravitational pull, there could be a huge disaster. So, how likely is the chance of an asteroid st...

Terrifying 160-foot monster asteroid moving towards Earth at 30564 kmph TODAY, warns NASA

[ad_1] NASA warns that a huge 160-foot wide asteroid will be coming dangerously close to the Earth today, November 30. The last day of November is going to be quite frightful for Earth as a monster asteroid is going to come dangerously close to the Earth, reports NASA. The risk here is that even the slightest redirection for the asteroid can increase the chances of an asteroid strike. And with a massive size of 160-foot, this asteroid can spell a major disaster if it impacted our planet. Even if it is not large enough to be an apocalypse level threat like the dinosaur-killer was tens of millions of year ago, it can easily decimate a city-sized landmass.

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...

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 ...

Gigantic 130-foot wide asteroid is hurtling towards Earth today, warns NASA

[ad_1] A massive asteroid will be making its closest approach to the Earth today, October 8, according to NASA. Is there a risk of asteroid strike? Find out. The Earth is dodging asteroids left and right. After escaping the threat from a couple of asteroids yesterday, including a 100-foot space rock, the Earth again faces the scare of an even larger one. According to NASA, a 130-foot wide asteroid is approaching the Earth today, October 8 and this is a scary development. An asteroid this size can easily flatten a major city in the world if it ends up getting dragged by the Earth's gravitational pull and unleash a nightmarish hell on our planet.

Asteroid, big as a Bus, will come SHOCKINGLY close to Earth today at 372000 km, says NASA

[ad_1] Asteroid 2022 TD will be coming extremely close to the Earth today, October 6, according to NASA. Can it get trapped by Earth’s gravitational pull and strike us? With about 20000 Near Earth Objects (NEO) discovered so far, asteroids fly past our planet on a daily basis. These asteroids range between the size of a pebble and the Burj Khalifa. Shockingly, an asteroid will come frighteningly close to the Earth, closer than the Moon. Asteroids pose a potential risk to Earth and it is hard to tell when one of these asteroids might actually strike the planet. Realizing the complicated nature of asteroid monitoring, NASA built a technological superior planetary defense wing which hosts a number of departments like the Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO), Center for Near Earth...
