NASA is vigilant even on Christmas, so an alert has been issued for 3 new asteroids that are heading towards the Earth at a very high speed at the moment, they are going to reach the planet at the weekend. We are talking about asteroids that have very large dimensions, apart from the huge speed with which they move through the universe, and those from NASA considered it imperative that everyone be alerted about them now.
NASA discovered a first asteroid which it named 2019 YS2, moving towards the Earth at a speed of 21.000 KM/hour, and having a size of approximately 21 meters. Even if the size of this asteroid doesn't seem big at first glance, it could pass through the atmosphere and hit the Earth, and with such a high speed, I'm pretty sure there are people at NASA who are afraid of the damage -could produce.
NASA: Christmas ALERT for 3 BIG ASTEROIDS coming to Earth
NASA also informed us about another asteroid named 2019 YX, this one having a similar speed, just over 21.000 KM/hour, but its diameter is 55 meters, so it is huge. An asteroid of this kind can cause material damage of tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, and can kill hundreds of thousands or millions of people, depending on where it crashes, so NASA is alerting us to the huge danger brought by him.
NASA is watching with even greater attention another asteroid which has the name 2019 YT2, it is now moving through the universe at a speed of approximately 30.500 KM/hour, so it is the fastest of all. With a diameter of approximately 67 meters, NASA announces that this asteroid is also the largest of all those that will pass by the Earth this weekend, very great danger existing from each of these very large rocks.
NASA is constantly issuing alerts about asteroids moving through the universe near Earth, but luckily for us, none of the three above will hit Earth this weekend.
