NASA. A giant asteroid has triggered a new alert for the Earth, the American space agency warning the entire humanity about its rapid approach to the planet we live on. According to those from NASA, in just 10 days an asteroid with dimensions of 57-130 meters will arrive close to the Earth, that is, it is giant, and if it were to hit the planet, it could create destruction of incredibly large proportions, killing millions of people.
NASA. The asteroid detected by the American space agency has the name 2019 QZ1, and it is traveling at a very high speed towards the Earth, and for now there is very little chance that it will hit our planet. Those from NASA still consider it to be a very dangerous asteroid due to its very large dimensions, which practically maintain the danger at a high level for our planet, even if the chances of impact are small.
GODMOTHER. A GIANT ASTEROID Triggered the ALERT for Earth
NASA. An asteroid this big can wipe a fairly large city off the face of the Earth, killing millions of people, depending on where it hits, and causing significant damage there. To protect the Earth from dangerous asteroids, those from NASA developed the famous DART system, which allows the destruction of these cosmic rocks at great distances above the Earth, without us being in any way in danger because of them.
“The giant space rock has an estimated diameter of 57 – 130 m, according to the Asteroid Tracker. The 1 QZ2019 will travel at just over 5 miles per second. A collision may still occur due to mitigating factors.”
NASA. Although the asteroids that are now heading towards the Earth should not hit us, the Yarkovsky effect raises the danger for the Earth, he says that the sun can deflect their trajectories by the very high heat emitted. Of course this is possible to happen, but for now unlikely, even according to NASA, but despite their confidence now, they still decided to develop a system like DART to protect us from asteroids.
NASA. I will let you know when this dangerous asteroid will get even closer to Earth, but theoretically we shouldn't be afraid of any possible impact.
