big asteroid 2023 JB3 massive size 160 foot coming towards earth range 5420000 km nasa asteroid latest update

The asteroid continues to move towards the Earth. In the last few days, asteroids or asteroids have been passing very close to the Earth. They can also grow up to 500 feet tall. These rocky fragments revolve around the Sun, but they are not classified as planets, because they are much smaller than planets, but are different from meteorites and comets. That is why they are called asteroids. Very few incidents of asteroids hitting the Earth have been reported so far, but they can change their direction at any time. That’s why NASA tracks them continuously.

space agency NASA An alert has been issued about a large asteroid coming towards the Earth. This asteroid is going to come very close to the Earth after a few hours. Its name is 2023 JB3 asteroid. It will come near the Earth in the next 24 hours. NASA’s JPL It has been told that when it reaches the nearest point to the Earth, its distance from the Earth will be 5,420,000 kilometers. This distance is less than 55 lakh kilometers. Whereas asteroids falling within a radius of 75 lakh kilometers are considered a threat to the Earth. According to this, Asteroid 2023 JB3 is going to pass very close.

Another matter of concern is that its size is 160 feet. It is as heavy as a big building. The coming of such a big asteroid so close to the Earth is not without danger. Sometimes rocky pieces also fall to the earth in the form of meteorites. But they are much smaller than asteroids. In 2013, a meteorite named Chelyabinsk exploded in the sky in Russia, causing damage to 7 thousand buildings. More than 1400 people were injured in this. It was 59 feet in size.

If we compare, Asteroid 2023 JB3 is three times bigger than this. In such a situation, the danger can be estimated as to how destructive it can be in case of a collision. However, NASA has not yet issued a warning of any such danger. Nevertheless, space scientists remain on constant alert about asteroids, because they can change their direction at any time.
