A unique astronomical phenomenon will be seen in the sky today. Not one or two, but five giant asteroids are coming towards the Earth. One of these is equal to the size of a football stadium. Which will pass very close to the earth. According to the scientist, if they collide, it could cause a terrible devastation. Therefore, many agencies including the American space agency NASA have started trying to change their path. However, there is nothing to fear because this collision will not usually happen.
According to NASA’s Asteroid Watch dashboard, this group of celestial ‘giants’ is led by an asteroid named 2008 OS7, which was discovered by NASA in 2008. Its width is more than 890 feet. According to NASA, this giant meteorite is ready to come towards the Earth on 2 February. According to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), at that time it will be at a distance of 2,850,000 kilometers from the Earth. Which will be the relatively shortest distance. That means no such big asteroid had passed so close before today. Although, it is not going to have any effect, but it will be a very exciting moment.
they pose no threat
According to NASA, most of the objects near the Earth are such that due to their orbits being different, they do not collide with the Earth. Therefore there is no danger from them. But when a small part of these comes out, which are called dangerous asteroids, they need attention. Apart from 2008 OS7, NASA has also warned about four other asteroids, which range from the size of a house to the size of a building. Among these, 2007 EG, this 130 feet long airplane shaped asteroid, will pass a little closer on January 29. Then its distance from Earth will be 16,110,000 kilometers.
Gave alert regarding these also
On February 1, a 62-foot tall asteroid will pass by 2024 BY. Then its distance from Earth will be 2,530,000 km. After some time, 2003 BM4 will pass close to the Earth. It is 120 feet in diameter. Then its distance from the Earth will be 3,320,000 kilometers. After this, on February 2, 2024 BP1 will pass at a distance of 3,420,000 km from the Earth. It is 130 feet. Let us tell you that NASA has a system, which tracks those asteroids which are within 7.5 million kilometers of the Earth.
