Asteroid Alert: Asteroids in space move rapidly towards the Earth almost every day. Due to the great distance, there is no possibility of these asteroids colliding with the Earth, but even then the American space agency NASA and others are keeping an eye on them. Now once again a big sized asteroid is going to come near the Earth today. The size of this 'catastrophe' is approximately 710 feet wide, equal to a stadium. It may pass near Earth on October 17. In such a situation, everyone is on alert.
The name of the asteroid coming today is 2024 RV50. However, it is a matter of relief that NASA has confirmed that there is no threat to the Earth from this asteroid. Asteroids, often called minor planets, orbit our solar system. These rocky bodies are remnants of the formation of the Solar System 4.6 billion years ago. Unlike planets, asteroids do not have atmospheres and vary in size and composition.
NASA continuously monitors the activities of these asteroids with the help of modern technology. These techniques help scientists predict potential threats to Earth. Let us tell you that due to a similar asteroid, dinosaurs became extinct from the earth 66 million years ago. From this it can be estimated that if these asteroids collide with the Earth, how much damage can be caused. However, this time there is no possibility of it colliding.
Let us tell you that asteroids keep passing near the Earth from time to time. Not only NASA, ISRO scientists also keep a close eye on them. Recently two asteroids passed by. The name of one was 2024 TR2, whose size was 87 feet. At the same time, the name of the second asteroid was 2024 T3. Scientists were also keeping a close eye on both of them, but it was a matter of relief that both of them had passed quite a distance from the earth.
