Asteroid as big as a plane coming towards the earth at a speed of 27000 km Today says Nasa

Asteroids continue to pass close to our Earth. In the last few years, scientists have also spotted such rocky disasters, which are getting closer to our planet, hiding in the glare of the Sun. These asteroids are not detected by radar, due to which there is a danger of a major destruction on the Earth. It is believed that dinosaurs were wiped out from our Earth millions of years ago due to the destruction caused by an asteroid collision. However, another asteroid is coming closer to the Earth.

American space agency NASA (NASA)’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Nasa JPL) told It is said that Asteroid 2023 GU2 will reach close to our planet today. It can cover its path covering a distance of about 74 lakh 50 thousand kilometers. Its size can range from 78 feet to 177 feet, which is almost as big as an airplane.

This asteroid is coming towards the Earth at a high speed of 27 thousand 849 kilometers per hour. It belongs to the Amor group of asteroids. Although this asteroid is not likely to collide with the Earth, scientists will monitor this rocky disaster until it goes too far from the Earth. Because the direction of asteroids can change at any time, scientists need to monitor them.

According to NASA, asteroids 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.

When an asteroid is discovered, it is named by the International Astronomical Union Committee. The name can be anything, but a number is also added to it like – (99942) Apophis. Asteroids are also named after artists, scientists and historical characters.
