52 foot big asteroid size of house coming towards earth 5th time speed of 14400 km per hour nasa jpl latest asteroid update

Asteroids rotating in space are those rocky pieces which are constantly hovering around the Earth. Asteroids revolve around the Sun, but their orbit often intersects the Earth’s orbit very closely. That is, the asteroids rotate and reach a point where the Earth’s orbit and the asteroid’s orbit pass so close to each other that there is a possibility of their collision.

Asteroids are spread far across the solar system. The orbit of some asteroids is so large that they take thousands of days to revolve around the Sun. At the same time, some asteroids which are at the same distance as the Earth, complete their revolution around the Sun in almost the same time as the Earth. NASA has issued an alert about a similar asteroid arriving in the next few hours which revolves around the Sun in 367 days. That means it completes one revolution around the Sun in the same time as the Earth. The special thing is that between 2019 and 2023, it is coming towards the Earth for the fifth time. Let us know about this rock.

NASA has issued an alert about Asteroid 2020 PP1. It is going to reach near the Earth in 48 hours. This is coming to target the earth for the fifth time. space reference According to, earlier it had come close to the Earth on 9 August 2019. Then the next year on 5 August 2020, it passed close to the Earth. In 2021, it passed near the Earth on August 3. Whereas on August 1 last year, it passed very close to the Earth. Now on July 29, 2023, it is coming again to target the Earth.

Asteroid 2020 PP1 The size is 52 feet. Its minimum distance when approaching the Earth is estimated to be 6,530,000 kilometers. It is running towards the earth at a speed of 14,400 kilometers per hour. Its size has been compared to a big house. Such a big asteroid falling on Earth can be harmful. But NASA has not yet released the information about its collision with the Earth. But this asteroid is continuously coming closer to the Earth. Every year NASA tracks it. Now it has to be seen whether there is some change in its direction after coming closer to the Earth, or whether it will pass close to it like before.
