NASA issued a new alert yesterday due to a new very large asteroid that is coming at a very high speed towards the Earth and will pass by our planet in just a few tens of minutes. According to those from NASA, this asteroid is going to pass by our planet at 11:24, that is, in just 24 minutes from the time of publication of this article, and we are talking about a very important event for humanity.
NASA issued the alert for the asteroid because it has very large dimensions, approximately 130 meters to be exact, which for a rock in the universe represents a substantial and potentially dangerous diameter. An asteroid with such dimensions would penetrate the atmosphere and collide with the Earth to cause huge damage, according to NASA, so it is good to always issue warnings in advance, so that people are prepared.
NASA: ALERT Today due to a LARGE ASTEROID
NASA chose the name VH5 2019 for this asteroid which is heading towards the Earth at a speed of 35.000 KM/h at the moment, having been discovered, as the name suggests, this very year. NASA has very carefully monitored this asteroid until now, and has come to the conclusion that it will not hit the Earth, but even so it decided to issue a warning because people must be notified of what is happening in this moment.
NASA knows very well that any asteroid coming towards the Earth can have its trajectory changed at any moment, so even though it seems that it will not hit the Earth, it could do so at any moment. Of course, that is not the case now, NASA is only monitoring the way it moves through the universe, so everyone must be quiet, and follow it today around 11:24, when it will get very close to us.
