asteroid today

[ad_1] Asteroids have been depicted in the negative light since the time humanity first got to know their potential power for destruction. Their purpose seems to be to aimlessly wander around empty space and once in a while crash into a hapless planet and (possibly) alter the balance between species (as happened with the asteroid that killed off all the dinosaurs some 66 mn years ago on Earth).

[ad_1] US space agency keeps track of all near-Earth asteroids that wander anywhere close and one that is coming today, is going to get horrifically near to our planet. The reason why a wary eye is kept on the asteroids that get too close to Earth for comfort is to know well in time whether they will get any closer or whether they have any chance of actually crashing…

[ad_1] After a string of smaller, under 50-foot, asteroids sailed safely past Earth over the recent weeks, US space agency NASA reveals that some huge space rocks are heading Earth’s way now. Among them is an asteroid that is a humongous 370-foot giant and it is well on way to making its closest approach to Earth on April 7. Asteroid 2024 FH2 will come close to Earth today, says…

[ad_1] US space agency NASA has a huge armada of gadgetry deployed on Earth as well as in the skies to find out quickly if there are any threats to our planet from space bodies traveling by. Some of the most destructive ones, and frequent visitors at that, are asteroids. The space rocks travel at high speeds and mostly zip past the Earth. However, they are known to have…

[ad_1] A day after two 100-foot asteroids came very close to Earth, another asteroid is set to do the same today and NASA is tracking the space rock as it approaches our planet. Asteroids are space rocks, mostly small and some are really big, that are leftover remnants from the time that the solar system was getting itself in order. While most of these asteroids are stuck in the…
