Our solar system is said to have formed in space 4.6 billion years ago. According to space scientists, the Solar System was born from an explosion inside a large gas cloud, also called a nebula. It was from this explosion that our Sun was formed, and the planets revolving around it were formed. But along with all these celestial bodies, some pieces also remained scattered in the solar system, which are known as asteroids. Scientists who study space activity say that asteroids are unique in themselves. The history right up to the birth of the solar system may be hidden in them. These days, asteroids are passing close to the Earth which can also become a threat to the Earth.

NASA has issued an asteroid alert for today i.e. 7th July. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory by Asteroid 2019 LH5 Alert has been given for (Asteroid 2019 LH5). This huge rock is moving towards the earth today. Its size is scary. According to JPL, this is an 880 feet asteroid. Its size has been compared to a stadium. When it will pass close to the Earth, at its closest point it will be at a distance of 5,710,000 kilometers from our planet.

Asteroid 2019 LH5 This may pose a threat to the earth. spacereference According to, NASA has declared Asteroid 2019 LH5 as potentially dangerous. This asteroid completes its revolution around the Sun in 741 days. Its diameter is said to be 0.47 kilometers. That means this rock is about half a kilometer wide. Earlier it had come close to the Earth on 27 June 2021. Today, on July 7, it is coming closer to the earth again. And after this it will again be this close to the Earth on 3 February 2044. See how its orbit is intersecting the Earth’s orbit, and how close it is going to pass through the Earth –

There are 16 thousand asteroids present around the Earth which can become a threat at any time. So far 13 asteroids have been identified. Out of which 16000 asteroids are present in and around the Earth. NASA also calls them near earth objects, which are continuously hovering around the earth. Out of these 16 thousand asteroids, NASA has declared 1784 asteroids as potentially dangerous for the Earth. Because there is a possibility that they may change their direction.
