nasa asteroid alert for 3 big rocks speed 34000 and 20000 km per hour threat coming towards earth today latest asteroid update

Asteroids are sometimes also called small planets. NASA says that these are rocky fragments left scattered in the solar system at the time of its origin 4.6 billion years ago. NASA has given the number of asteroids as 1,299,398. That means about 13 lakh asteroids have been identified so far. Talking about the asteroids of the solar system, the space agency states that most of their presence lies between Mars and Jupiter. This is called the Main Asteroid Belt. The largest asteroid is said to be Vesta, whose size is 530 kilometers. Still, the total mass of all the asteroids is not even equal to that of the Earth’s satellite, the Moon.

What would happen if 530 km big asteroid Vesta collides with the Earth? NASA says that if an asteroid 150 meters i.e. about 500 feet big hits the Earth, it can be devastating. In such circumstances, NASA also tracks asteroids. Because NASA insist that distance between earth and moon An asteroid can become a threat to the Earth if it comes as close as 19.5 times. This distance in kilometers has been stated as 75 lakh kilometers. That’s why NASA keeps issuing alerts about approaching asteroids. Even today the space agency has issued an alert for 3 asteroids which are going to pass close to the Earth.

Asteroid 2020 OM Coming near the earth today. Its size is 44 feet. Its distance to the nearest point to the Earth is said to be 3,240,000 kilometers. It is the size of a big house. As its name suggests, it was discovered in 2020. Along with this, Asteroid 2022 GX2 is also facing towards the Earth. It is also moving towards the earth today. Its size is 15 feet. Its speed is said to be 33804 kilometers per hour. It is quite small in size. When it will be at its closest point to the Earth, the distance between the two will remain only 4,580,000 kilometers.

A third rocky piece is also moving closer in the direction of Earth today. Its name is 2023 NL. Asteroid 2023 NL Its size is 140 feet. When it reaches closest to the Earth, the distance between the two will be 7,320,000 kilometers. Its speed is said to be 19664 kilometers per hour. These three rocks are going to pass near the Earth today. NASA has not yet issued any warning about any danger from these. But it is very important to keep an eye on asteroids, because they can change their direction when they come close to the planet.
