Asteroid 2023 HV5 come towards earth May 3 Nasa JPL Alert

Scientists have their eyes on an asteroid which is going to pass very close to the Earth tomorrow on May 3. When asteroid 2023 HV5 comes close to our planet, the distance between the two will be only 4 lakh 35 thousand kilometers. This is slightly more than the distance between the Earth and the Moon. Due to this proximity of the asteroid, it has been kept in the category of ‘potentially dangerous’. This is quoted by the American space agency NASA. Information Has come forward.

The good thing is that the size of ‘Asteroid 2023 HV5’ is not very huge. It is approximately 41 feet wide, which is equal to a bus. This asteroid is coming towards the Earth at a speed of 35 thousand 152 kilometers per hour. This rocky disaster related to asteroids from the Apollo group is not expected to hit Earth, but scientists will continue their monitoring.

Change in direction of asteroids is possible. If the direction of an asteroid turns towards the Earth and it collides with our planet, it can cause great destruction. Scientists have been believing that the extinction of dinosaurs from our earth was also due to the destruction caused by the collision of an asteroid.

Just as all the planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun, similarly asteroids also revolve around the Sun. Most asteroids are found in the main asteroid belt, which lies between Mars and Jupiter. Their size can range from 10 meters to 530 kilometers. The total mass of all the asteroids discovered so far is less than that of the Earth’s Moon.

Most asteroids have an irregular shape. Some are almost circular, while many appear oval. There are some asteroids which have their own moon. Many also have two moons. When asteroids come close to the Earth, scientists look at the distance between them and the Earth. For this the help of satellite and radar is taken.
