NASA issued a new important warning today for a very large asteroid heading towards Earth at a surprisingly high speed, and this forced the Americans to alert us. According to the measurements made by NASA, this asteroid has a diameter of 650 meters, and is heading towards the Earth at a speed of over 40.000 KM/h, but fortunately it will pass at a fairly large distance from our planet, on November 3 .
NASA applied the name 2015 JD1 to the asteroid, it being discovered in 2015, and being included in the Apollo class due to its very large size, in case it entered the atmosphere it could cause huge damage. NASA claims that at the moment, the trajectory calculated in the case of this asteroid means that it will pass at a distance from Earth equivalent to 12.9 distances between our planet and the Moon, which is a lot.
NASA WARNS Regarding a New very BIG ASTEROID
NASA is obliged to issue warnings for any kind of asteroid that has a diameter of over 35 meters, and this is because in such cases there is a possibility that it will hit the surface of the Earth, if it enters the atmosphere. In the case of an asteroid with a diameter of 450 meters, the impact with the Earth could kill millions of people, if it happened near a city, and NASA is obliged to warn everyone a long time before.
NASA also issued a series of warnings the other day for asteroids that are heading towards Earth at very high speed, but will not collide with our planet, which is great news for everyone. On the other hand, NASA stated that there are asteroids that are heading towards the Earth, and that have trajectories that intersect with that of our planet, but the impact is still quite far from taking place.
NASA will continue to issue warnings to everyone, so we must be very careful about what the Americans tell us about the rocks moving through outer space.
