NASA today issued a new extremely important alert for an asteroid that is heading towards Earth at a very high speed, and that can kill millions of people if it hits our planet. We are talking about an asteroid that has the name 481394 2006 SF6 established by those from NASA, and with a diameter of 650 meters, it is very clear that if it enters the Earth's atmosphere, it will hit the surface at a certain point.
NASA issues alerts for any kind of asteroids that have diameters of over 35 meters, and that have trajectories that bring them close to the Earth, and in this case, it seems that the trajectory is one that will cause concern. NASA claims that the dangerous asteroid would reach the Earth on November 21, and the main problem lies in the fact that the trajectory could be modified by the planets it passes by, or the solar winds.
NASA: ALERT for an ASTEROID that can KILL MILLIONS of People
NASA has not calculated extremely high chances that this asteroid will collide with the Earth, but even so, it seems that in its journey through the universe, it could have its trajectory modified so much that it would target the Earth. This scares those from NASA, who say that anything can happen until November 21, and if there is even a very small chance of an impact with the Earth, the entire planet must be alerted by the American space agency.
NASA does not very often issue alerts for asteroids that have such large dimensions, so if one came now for such a rock, we must be extremely careful about what will happen. According to NASA, only in about 10 years there is a good chance that a large asteroid will hit the Earth, but in the meantime any other one in the universe can be diverted to become dangerous for the entire planet.
Last week, NASA also issued alerts for other asteroids that represent a danger to the Earth, and will continue to do so, especially for those that are very large.
