Apart from Earth, there are many other planets in our solar system. There is a possibility of collision of those planets with asteroids. It is very dangerous for asteroids to collide with any planet. Because if this happens, then human civilization and ecosystem also come under threat. About 66 million years ago, the impact of asteroids is believed to be the reason why dinosaurs became extinct. Let us tell you that an asteroid is moving towards Earth this time. Actually NASA is monitoring the trajectory of the asteroid, which is a 220-foot (67 meter) space rock, which is moving towards Earth at a speed of 45,388 miles per hour.

Asteroid moving towards Earth

Let us tell you that the asteroid is classified as part of the Apollo group, a group of near-Earth asteroids orbiting the Sun. According to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NF 2024 will be closest to Earth on July 17, passing about 3 million miles i.e. 4.8 million km from Earth. In such a situation, there is no danger to the Earth. NASA constantly monitors objects located near the Earth and maintains a database of their trajectories. That is, information is kept about which asteroid passes through which path and what effect it has on the Earth.

Other asteroids ready to come

Let us tell you that asteroids with a diameter larger than 150 meters and passing closer than 4.6 million miles i.e. 7.4 million kilometers are considered potentially dangerous asteroids. In such a situation, NF 2024 is very small and does not meet the criteria of PHA. Apart from NF 2024, NASA said that four other asteroids will pass close to the Earth in the coming days. Asteroids BY15, NJ3 and MG1. All of them are expected to pass safely at a distance of 2.64 million miles to 3.85 million miles.
