2 big asteroid 2023 MT1 and Asteroid 2020 NC size 390 foot and 50 foot coming towards earth today nasa latest asteroid alert

The process of arrival of asteroids from space continues. These days, these heavy stones with rugged shapes are turning towards the earth one after the other and passing through it. Asteroids are spread over a large part of the solar system. Most asteroids are said to exist in the empty region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. NASA has identified more than 7 lakh asteroids. These are made of minerals and rocks. Their size can vary from 500 feet to several kilometers. In such a situation, NASA keeps warning about asteroids. Today again a 390 feet big piece of rock is coming near the earth. Besides, an alert has also been issued for another asteroid. Let us know about them.

NASA’s for asteroid tracking Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is working continuously. JPL has issued an alert for 2 asteroids today. Both these asteroids are going to pass very close to the Earth. One of these is a rock called Asteroid 2023 MT1. It is 44 feet big. Which can be as big as a house. in the next 24 hours Asteroid 2023 MT1 Must have reached close to the earth. It is going to come to a distance of 11 lakh kilometers, after which it will move forward while rotating in its orbit.

But the real danger is much greater. Today Asteroid 2020 NC is also coming towards the earth. This is a 390 feet asteroid. Asteroid 2020 NC NASA says that it can be as big as two big buildings. Asteroid 2020 NC is moving towards the Earth at the speed of lightning. For this giant rock, NASA has said that when it will be closest to the Earth, the distance between the two will be around 53 lakh kilometers. The speed of Asteroid 2020 NC is said to be 27,873 kilometers per hour.

Asteroid collision with Earth is considered a very rare event. But the possibility cannot be ruled out. Because compared to the size of the planet, asteroids are quite small in size. Talking about Earth, its diameter is 12,756 kilometers. Even at a speed of 27,880 kilometers per hour, the Space Shuttle takes 90 minutes, i.e. 1.5 hours, to circle the Earth. You can imagine its size how big it is. In such a situation, its gravity is also very powerful. According to the National Science Foundation, Earth’s gravity is so powerful that it can pull an object towards itself at a speed of 9.8 meters per second. In such situations, many times meteorites and asteroids also get attracted towards the earth.

If an asteroid falls on Earth under the influence of gravity, it can destroy a large part of the Earth. Meteorites also sometimes become a big threat. In 2013, a meteorite named Chelyabinsk exploded in the sky in Russia, which damaged 7 thousand buildings. More than 1400 people were injured in this. This meteorite was 59 feet in size. Similarly, if an asteroid also gets attracted towards the Earth, it can cause destruction many times greater than this.
