[ad_1] In 2021, the asteroid 2021 UA1 came so close to the Earth that it could have easily smashed into the planet and caused a disaster. Know all about our planet’s escape. We keep reading about asteroids flying past the Earth on a regular basis but we don't actually realize how terrifyingly close these space rocks can get and the scale of destruction they can inflict on our planet if they smash into it. But every now and then, an asteroid gets pulled by the Earth's gravity and gives us a glimpse of the disaster these terrifying asteroids can bring about. We all know about the Chelyabinsk incident in 2013 when a 20-meter wide meteor exploded above the Russian city and just the sonic boom was enough to break the glass of skyscrapers and cause heavy infrastructure damage in a large rad...

[ad_1] NASA Hubble Space Telescope thought it spotted something that should not exist, which was travelling at a mind-altering rate 7 times faster than light! On Earth, we have created some really fast objects. For instance, the speed of a bullet out of a gun can be as high as 4,200 kilometers per hour, which is three times the speed of sound. But it is not even the fastest thing. The fastest man-made object would be the NASA Parker Solar Probe spacecraft which reached a speed of 535,000 kilometers per hour using the Sun's gravity! Now, that is fast. But you would be surprised to know that it is just 0.05% of the speed of light (300,000 kilometers per second). So, you can imagine just how fast light really is. And till now, it was surmised that nothing can travel faster than light. Bu...
