Asteroids Coming Towards Earth: NASA has been on alert mode for the last several days. The speed of asteroids coming to Earth has increased in the last several days. On Monday, NASA had said that a 660 feet asteroid is going to pass near the Earth on September 15. However, there was no danger to the Earth from this. Still, NASA is on alert mode. Recently it was claimed that two asteroids will pass near the Earth on the night of September 24, although there is no possibility of collision, but when both of them pass near the Earth, there is a possibility of severe vibration. The names of both the asteroids are being told as 2020 GE and 2024 RO11.
NASA discovered these two asteroids recently. The size of 2024 RO11 is 120 feet i.e. close to the size of an airplane. It will pass very close to the Earth on September 24. But, there is no possibility of any danger. On the same day, another and smaller asteroid 2020 GE will pass 6 lakhs away from the Earth. NASA said that there is no special danger to the Earth from both of them. They can be seen with special telescopes.
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a… peanut?
This nutty asteroid is about as tall as the Eiffel Tower is tall. It was imaged by our Goldstone radar as it safely passed Earth at a distance of 2.8M miles (4.6M km). https://t.co/66hy0ehsPe
