Two asteroids are hurtling towards Earth at a terrifying pace, NASA has revealed. According to CNEOS data, the first asteroid, named 2020 DG4, which is about 25-foot in diameter, roughly the size of a bus, is moving at a rapid speed of 24,913 kilometres per hour. The second asteroid, named 2023 CW2, a 14-foot space rock, is rushing towards Earth at a speed of 8,112 kilometres per hour. Despite their small sizes, you may be wondering why have they become a cause for concern.The main concern is the close proximity of the…

Saturday, February 4 will see 5 giant asteroids zooming towards Earth at fiery speeds. All these asteroids are of varied sizes ranging from 100 feet to 58 feet. Since they will be coming very close to Earth, it becomes important to track their movement. NASA, keeps an eye on all the near-Earth objects like asteroids, comets, among others, which can pose a threat to the planet. Here are the details the research organisation provided about the asteroids nearing Earth today. As per the latest information shared…

Beware! A giant 230-foot asteroid is set to make a close approach to Earth at a blistering speed of 12478 km per hour. A massive asteroid is on its way to Earth! The worrying part is that it is set to come dangerously close. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory informed on its website that a potentially hazardous, 230-foot asteroid is speeding towards Earth and will come very close on January 29, that is today. This asteroid has been named 2022 SO113.What makes this asteroid potentially hazardous? NASA's Planetary Defense…

A scary 120 foot asteroid is all set to cross its path with planet Earth today. NASA has informed about its distance, speed and more. Asteroids can be of varied sizes, the larger the size, the more dangerous they can be for planet Earth. Though no one can predict an upcoming danger or threat, what can surely be done is to stay alert. And this is what NASA does. The space research organisation keeps an eye on all the near-Earth objects like asteroids, comets, among others, which can pose a threat to the planet. As…

NASA has warned about this perilous space rock that will come extremely close to Earth today. NASA shared the details of the potential danger it may pose. Today, there is a potentially hazardous rocky visitor that will come extremely close to Earth! Though, countless asteroids keep zooming past the Earth at astonishing speed, most of them burn up in the atmosphere itself. However, some reach the ground with catastrophic consequences, while others are too small to do any damage. You must have heard about the destructive…

Asteroid 2023 AH, which measures just 20-foot in size, is a potential threat to Earth, says NASA. Know why. NASA has detected a small yet potentially hazardous asteroid on January 11, 2023, which has been dubbed Asteroid 2023 AH and it is all set to make a very close approach towards Earth today. As per NASA's asteroid data tracker, Asteroid 2023 AH measures around 20-foot in diameter, and will fly past the Earth today January 15 at 15:05. This near-Earth asteroid belongs to the Apollo group and makes one orbit around…

A mammoth 290-foot asteroid named 2022 YH3 is on its ways towards Earth today, according to NASA. Here is all you need to know about its speed, distance, threat it poses to the planet, and more. Asteroids are sometimes also called minor planets. They are rocky, airless remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. Some are massive in size (as large at 530 kilometers in diameter) while others are comparatively small (less than 33 feet or 10 meters). According to NASA, The…

NASA has informed about 6 giant asteroids hurtling towards planet earth next week. Check date, speed, and other details about these asteroids here. The biggest is the 260-foot Asteroid 2022 YZ2. Space is full of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids and many have been classified as Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). These objects often get attracted towards Earth due to its gravitational pull or if the planet comes in their trajectory. Now, NASA has raised an alert about 6 giant asteroids that are hurtling towards Earth at mind…

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…

Two giant asteroids are rushing towards Earth today. One is 72 feet, while the size of the other asteroid is 48 feet. Know what NASA revealed. Not all near-Earth objects pose a threat to the planet. However, when the size of the objects are large and they come very close to Earth, they raise a concern. It can be known that near-Earth objects include asteroids, comets, among others. These objects may sometimes come near Earth while travelling in their orbits and also get attracted towards the planet because of its…
