NASA issued a new important warning for a asteroid giant that will reach Earth tomorrow, and considering the size of this rock in the universe, it could cause extremely large destruction. Named 2019 VF1, this asteroid discovered by NASA would have a diameter of about 150 meters, and it will reach the Earth tomorrow, November 25, around 18:00, so it will be easy to see.
NASA claims that this very large asteroid moves at a speed of 62.000 KM/h, that is, about 63 times faster than a Boeing 747 intercontinental plane, so that in case of impact it could kill millions upon millions of people. The good part of the announcement from NASA is that the asteroid will not hit the Earth, but will only come close to it, at a distance of about 5 million kilometers, but for Americans this is too close.
GIANT ASTEROID Reaches Earth Monday, NASA WARNING
NASA warns us about asteroids that reach even such distances from the Earth because there is always a chance that they will hit the planet if their trajectory deviates during the movement through the universe. Those from NASA are also obliged by law to issue warnings even in these cases, the US Congress some time ago adopting a law by which astronomers must warn the population about any asteroid they observe.
NASA publishes information about any kind of rock from the cosmos that passes at close distances to Earth, even if this means that it is a matter of several million kilometers, and not just a few tens or hundreds of thousands. This is one of the largest asteroids for which NASA has issued warnings this year, the American space agency normally issuing alerts for many that are much smaller in size and reach similar distances.
NASA knows that normally no asteroid, no matter if its dimensions can exceed tens of meters in diameter, should not hit the Earth, but if the trajectory is modified, anything can happen.
