In a new development, NASA has revealed that an asteroid is set to pass Earth by a close margin today, November 15. NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) has designated this space rock as Asteroid 2023 UO. The asteroid was discovered and tracked using various ground and space-based telescopes. It will pass Earth at a distance of approximately 2.4 million kilometers. Check out all the details of Asteroid 2023 UO's close approach.Asteroid 2023 UO: Details of close approachNASA has revealed the asteroid is…

Asteroid 2023 LE2 passed between Earth and Moon yesterday at an uncomfortably close distance. Thankfully, it safely passed the Earth. However, Earth may not be in luck every time! Due to the immense destructive potential of asteroids, space agencies like NASA monitor asteroids to ensure the safety of our planet. While most asteroids reside in the asteroid belt, some undergo changes in their orbital paths. However, their movements are far from predictable as these monster rocks display irregular rotation and erratic…

A majority of asteroids come from the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter after they are dislodged from their original orbit. These asteroids exhibit an elliptical orbit and often have erratic rotations, tumbling through space. Can these monster rocks strike planets? NASA says that the gravitational forces exerted by the planets in our solar system can influence their trajectory, causing them to move unpredictably toward the inner solar system, including Earth. To monitor these dangerous asteroids, NASA's Jet…

A huge asteroid is headed towards Earth and could make its closest approach to the planet soon. Although asteroids pass closely to Earth on a daily basis, none of them come close enough to impact the surface. However, their close approaches serve as a reminder of the potential danger that asteroids can pose to our planet. That is why agencies like NASA, ESA and others continue to keep an eye on these Near-Earth Objects which have the potential to cause major destruction on Earth if they ever impacted.NASA has tracked an…

Asteroids are believed to be left over debris from the formation of our solar system and can provide valuable information about the early stages of planetary development. Some asteroids, known as near-Earth asteroids, can come very close to our planet, raising concerns about a potential collision. However, NASA and other space agencies actively track these asteroids and have systems in place to detect and deflect any potential threats.NASA estimates an asteroid would have to be at least 96 kilometers wide to be…

NASA has warned that this huge asteroid is headed straight for Earth today! Know its key details, as per NASA. Have you ever wondered how frequently planet-killing asteroids visit Earth? Well, NASA has revealed that once every few million years, a planet-killing space rock impacts the planet. Yes, it destroys the entire planet. As these asteroids revolve around the Sun in their elliptical orbits, the asteroids also rotate, sometimes quite erratically, tumbling as they go, according to NASA. Colossal asteroids have been…

An alert has been issued against a speeding asteroid by NASA which is set for close approach with Earth today. Know its speed, distance and more. Did you know that no less than 4 asteroids made close approaches to Earth yesterday! Now NASA has warned that another one is on its way, and it is a big one. This asteroid has huge destructive potential due to its sheer size and speed. To track such asteroids, NASA uses its repurposed NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer to work as a survey telescope and scan the sky…

NASA has warned a gigantic asteroid is headed straight for Earth today! Could it cause mass destruction? Did you know that planet-killing asteroids come along only once every few million years? As these space rocks revolve around the Sun in their elliptical orbits, the asteroids also rotate, sometimes quite erratically, tumbling as they go, according to NASA. Colossal asteroids have been responsible for some of the biggest events in history. From the Chelyabinsk disaster that claimed many lives to the meteor which…

NASA has warned about a massive 110-foot wide asteroid zooming towards Earth. Know the danger. Asteroids are too small to support life and they cannot hold onto any kind of atmosphere. How small are they? NASA says that the collective mass of all the asteroids in the Solar System is even less than the mass of our Moon! But these tiny leftovers of the early Solar System can be deadly in case they hit the Earth they can create havoc. In fact, if big enough, they can even be called planet killers. The danger…
