It is said that the extinction of dinosaurs on earth was due to meteorites. Because of this, whenever another meteorite passes near the earth, people get scared. Many people had also predicted that on such and such a day the earth would be destroyed by the collision of meteorites. But nothing like this has happened so far. Now another meteorite is about to hit the earth.
NASA has confirmed this. On May 12, this meteorite will pass very close to the earth. According to NASA’s Near Earth Objects, the size of this meteorite is 130 meters. That is, if it is compared with the Qutub Minar of Delhi, then its size is double. According to NASA, it will pass very close to the earth. According to NASA, it will pass very close to the earth. Because of this, it is being constantly monitored.
slowly getting closer
This huge stone is coming close to the earth very slowly. Its speed is much less than the meteorites present in the list of NEO. It is coming near the earth at a speed of 8.93 kilometers per second. It was first spotted on March 31, 2015. At that time its speed was double than now. But now its speed has reduced a lot. NASA is constantly keeping an eye on it. Although, the possibility of danger from this is very less, but NASA did not want to take any risk.
may wreak havoc
The chances of this meteorite hitting the earth are very less. If the earth’s gravity pulls it, then it will collide with the earth and bring destruction. But if this does not happen then it will not come near the earth for the next eight years. If this collision does not happen today, then on July 13, 2031, it will again come near the earth. Let us tell you that now NASA has an Asteroid Destroying System, which will destroy any such object that is going to pass near the Earth. Beyond this, no object will be able to harm the earth.
