Asteroid 2023 FS11 will come close earth today with a speed of 42275 km nasa says

An asteroid has attracted the attention of our scientists. The name of the asteroid is-(2023 FS11). This asteroid as big as an airplane is going to pass close to our planet today. When the 82 feet asteroid 2023 FS11 comes close to our Earth, the distance between the two will reduce to 6,610,000 kilometers. This distance may seem very long to you, but it is nothing compared to the vastness of space. That is why scientists are keeping an eye on this asteroid and have included it in the category of ‘potentially dangerous’.

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory told It is said that Asteroid 2023 FS11 will pass close to the Earth today i.e. on 3rd April. According to the information, it is moving at a storm speed of 42275 kilometers per hour. Although this asteroid is not expected to hit Earth, scientists will continue to monitor it until it passes too far from our planet.

Earth’s history includes many incidents of asteroid collisions, which have harmed life on our planet. Scientists have been believing that dinosaurs were wiped out from the earth millions of years ago due to the destruction caused by an asteroid collision. This is why scientists keep an eye on asteroids and monitor whatever passes near the Earth.

American space agency NASA is working on finding a definite solution to asteroids. Last year it tested the DART mission. Under this, a spacecraft was collided with an asteroid, so that the orbit of the asteroid could be changed. According to the information so far, NASA has been successful in its mission. Experts believe that if any asteroid becomes a threat to the Earth in future, it can also be stopped like the DART mission.

Talking about asteroids, according to NASA, they are also called minor planets. Just as all the planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun, similarly asteroids also revolve around the Sun. Asteroids are rocky remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. Scientists have so far detected 11 lakh 13 thousand 527 asteroids.
