NASA. An asteroid hit the earth's atmosphere without the American space agency knowing about it, it discovered everything only when the cosmic object disintegrated over the Caribbean, at a great distance. Those from NASA detected the small asteroid at the moment when its distance from the Earth was only slightly greater than that of the moon, traveling at a speed of 14 KM/second towards our planet at that moment.
NASA. The asteroid with a diameter of only 3 meters disintegrated completely in the atmosphere, so no one was put in danger, but the fact that the Americans did not expect it to hit the earth is the big problem at this point. NASA says that the asteroid was too small to be detected at a greater distance by its equipment, and it could not even determine where exactly it was going to end up, not being considered dangerous either because of its small size.
GODMOTHER. An ASTEROID HIT the Earth WITHOUT the Agency knowing
NASA. Basically, because these asteroids are so small, the American space agency considers them not to be a danger to the Earth, and no longer monitors them, and this is because theoretically they should disintegrate in the atmosphere. This is where the problem comes in, because without sufficient attention, an asteroid large enough could pass without NASA considering it a danger, but in reality it would be large enough to cause damage.
"A small asteroid shot toward Earth at 14,9 miles per second, and NASA admitted it didn't know it was coming. The space rock known as the 2019 MO MO was just three meters wide and exploded when it hit the planet's atmosphere on July 22 over the Caribbean. Asteroids of this size are much smaller than what we have been tasked with tracking. The body had only been spotted four times in just half an hour, which wasn't nearly enough information to determine where the object had come from or exactly where it was going. "
NASA. Of course, even if it detects it and warns us, the American space agency cannot do much, because it does not yet have an active system designed to divert the trajectories of asteroids. After this system becomes active, those from NASA will be able to modify the trajectories of the asteroids that come to earth, but of course only in the case of the large ones, actions will be taken to redirect them.
NASA. Having said that, despite all the monitoring devices, the American space agency is still surprised by asteroids that hit the Earth without it knowing.
