asteroid tomorrow

Considering the horrific destructive potential from asteroids, NASA and other space agencies keep a constant watch. These asteroids mainly remain in the asteroid belt, but some asteroids do change their path of orbit. How? According to NASA, asteroids follow elliptical paths as they orbit the Sun, but their movements are far from predictable. They exhibit irregular rotation and erratic motion. The gravitational influence of Jupiter and occasional encounters with other celestial objects can disrupt their trajectories,…

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…

Earth has recently witnessed a terrifying 1500-foot-wide asteroid passing closely past the planet. Thankfully, Earth successfully escaped the danger of this potentially hazardous asteroid yesterday. Now NASA has warned about a new threat that can keep scientists worried about its closest approach and it is coming tomorrow. As per the asteroid tracking data from NASA, Asteroid 2023 HW1 will fly past the Earth tomorrow, April 28 at a close distance of just 2.66 million miles. This 120-foot-wide asteroid is coming at a…

A truck-sized asteroid that suddenly loomed out of the darkness a few days ago -- with the Earth in its sights -- sailed harmlessly past us on Thursday, space scientists said. Bruce Willis: you can stand down. A truck-sized asteroid that suddenly loomed out of the darkness a few days ago -- with the Earth in its sights -- sailed harmlessly past us on Thursday, space scientists said. Despite what we've seen in movies like "Armageddon," no global mission to blow it up or knock it off course with nuclear weapons was…

A plane-sized 130-foot asteroid is to come extremely close to Earth today. NASA says it is hazardous for Earth. Should you worry about it? Know here. Did you know, dinosaurs were in the prime of their lives during the late Cretaceous period when an asteroid drove them into extinction, says a latest study. This dinosaur-killing asteroid was between 10.6 and 80.9 km in diameter and it crashed in Chicxulub, near the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico around 65 million years ago. Think about it, if a giant asteroid can end the…

A potentially hazardous, gigantic 220-foot asteroid named 2022 WP11 is all set to make its closest approach to Earth, NASA warned. Do you know that asteroids are also called planetoids? While some asteroids may be small at just a few feet, others are as big as hundreds of kilometres. These asteroids revolving around the sun are too small to be called planets hence, these are known as planetoids or minor planets. However, despite this, these asteroids can be dangerous to Earth, just like the Chicxulub asteroid, which…

A gargantuan 1300-foot asteroid named 2009 HV58 is rushing towards Earth on Friday, at a ferocious speed. Know what NASA informs about this giant asteroid. Every day, NASA releases a list of asteroids that are nearing Earth, their size, speed and their chances of posing a threat to humanity. These asteroids are sometimes very small while sometimes so large that they can wipe out a quarter of the world. According to the latest details, a massive 1300-foot asteroid that is the size of a stadium will be reaching very…

A massive 770-foot asteroid named 2019 OR1 is rushing towards Earth on Monday, at a humongously high speed. Here is what NASA informs about this frightful asteroid. A massive 770-foot asteroid that is the size of a stadium will be reaching very close to planet Earth tomorrow, Monday, November 21. It is frighteningly big and were it to crash on Earth, it would be very destructive for a huge part of the region it impacts and its effects would be felt worldwide. So, are you wondering how dangerous this stadium sized…

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…

Asteroid 2022 UC22 which is as big as 630 feet (size of a building) is rushing towards Earth at an unimaginable speed, says NASA. Know all about this asteroid. Space is full of several near-Earth objects (NEOs) like asteroids and comets. These objects can be dangerous for Earth, if they are large in size and hit the planet. However, scientists and researchers do keep any eye on these asteroids and comets and track their movement in order to know whether they are on a collision course to planet Earth. As per the latest…
