Traveling at a speed of 28 thousand kilometers per hour
Corona, earthquake, global warming and other disasters are already causing havoc around the world. In the midst of all this, another bad news has come to the fore. American space agency NASA has informed about a dangerous asteroid coming more rapidly to Earth. This stadium-sized asteroid is rapidly moving towards the Earth and may collide with the Earth.
According to reports, this huge asteroid is coming towards the Earth at a speed of 8 kilometers per second i.e. 28800 kilometers per hour. If any planet, satellite or any other thing collides with the asteroid at this speed, then it will be destroyed immediately. This asteroid has been placed by NASA in the category of NEO ie Near Earth Object, which is 20 meters wide.
On July 24, this asteroid will pass into Apollo orbit. However, the probability of its collision with the Earth is very less. Nevertheless, scientists have placed it in the category of potentially dangerous asteroids. Prior to this, Asteroid 2021KT1 also passed very close to Earth. Which was of the height of the Eiffel Tower. Let us tell you that asteroids are usually seen in the orbit of the planet Jupiter. At present, scientists have information about about one million asteroids, out of which 22 asteroids can become a threat to the Earth in the coming 100 years.
