BEWARE! A 100-foot wide Killer asteroid is heading towards the Earth, says NASA

[ad_1] 2022 QP3, a 100-foot wide asteroid, is going to make its closest approach to the Earth on August 28, according to NASA and can pose a horrific threat to us. What is the likelihood of a strike? Find out. NASA has just reported an issue of concern. It says that a 100-foot wide asteroid is heading towards the Earth. The massive asteroid is expected to make its closest approach to the Earth on August 28 and there is a slight risk that it might deviate from its path and move towards our planet due to the Earth's gravitational pull. At its size, if the asteroid did strike the planet, it could cause a terrible disaster. Not only would it flatten tens of kilometers of land, the shockwaves will cause damage hundreds of kilomete...

What are solar flares and geomagnetic storms? Explained here

[ad_1] A number of solar storms have hit the earth over the last few weeks. Here's all you need to know about these solar storms and and the geomagnetic storms they spark. The Sun is in the middle of its 11-year solar cycle. As a result of increased activity, scientists and researchers have observed multiple solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections, triggering geomagnetic storms on earth. Fortunately, no major effect has been seen as of now, however, a really powerful solar storm could create havoc on earth and cause GPS, radio and power grid blackouts. According to NASA, solar flares are an intense burst of radiation caused due to the release of energy from sunspots. Dark spots on the Sun's surface are called sunspots. Though...

NASA plans to protect Earth against asteroid impact; here is how

[ad_1] What would happen if an asteroid was going to strike Earth? Could anyone save us? Check out this NASA plan to protect Earth against asteroid impact. Earth's orbit has been bombarded with asteroid flybys this month, with more than 35 asteroids just whizzing past Earth one by one and more on the way. Although these asteroids have passed by Earth safely, there will come a time when one of them would be on course for impact with Earth. Just last year, a humongous 525-feet asteroid flew so close past Earth that it caused a panic among scientists. Well, someone is keeping a close watch on all this activity- NASA. NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office has the responsibility of keeping a check on the Near-Earth Objects ...

This is how a Black Hole sounds! SPOILER ALERT: It is more scary than horror films

[ad_1] NASA has released a short audio clip of a black hole from a nearby galaxy. Here is how the Black Hole sounds to human ears. Black Holes are the most interesting heavenly bodies to look at, even though we only managed to get our first actual glimpses of one. A Black Hole is theoretically known to have so much gravity that nothing escapes its clutches, not even light. And since space is majorly filled with vacuum, we cannot hear it too. However, NASA has now managed to figure out how a black hole sounds. We had gotten sounds of a black hole earlier in the year and now NASA has come up with remixed sounds of the same.The Perseus Galaxy cluster has a Black Hole at its center that sits 200 light years away from Earth. Earli...
