NASA issued an important warning regarding a dangerous asteroid that is reaching the Earth today, and which imposed the issuance of a warning message that targets the entire planet at the moment. 2020 ND is the name of the asteroid for which NASA issued the warning today, and we are talking about a rock whose dimensions reach 170 meters, so large enough to actually hit the surface of the Earth if it enters the atmosphere, but this will not happen .
NASA says that this asteroid will pass at a distance of 5 million kilometers from Earth during this day, and although the distance is great, the space agency is still obliged to issue warnings. With a speed of 48.000 km/h we are talking about an asteroid that moves quickly through the solar system, and the distance at which it passes in relation to the Earth makes it potentially dangerous, according to those from NASA, and we are talking about an interesting situation.
NASA: DANGEROUS ASTEROID TO REACH EARTH TODAY
NASA is obliged to issue danger notifications regarding any kind of large asteroids that pass near the Earth, even at distances of 5 million kilometers. Even if this distance seems very large, in reality it is very small for the solar system, and those from NASA are obliged to protect humanity from any kind of situations in which the Earth, or what is near it, could be endangered.
NASA has repeatedly issued similar warnings for asteroids that approached at similar distances in relation to Earth, even if in some cases the dimensions were even smaller. This time it's just that the asteroid is large and close to Earth, but there's no chance of the planet being hit by the rock, so we don't have to worry about what's happening at sea distance from us.
NASA will continue to issue warnings of this kind for future asteroids that will come threateningly close to the Earth, so it remains only to see what exactly will be announced.
