NASA has officially published an important official warning that the whole world should know about, and this is because it brings to our attention a very large asteroid that is heading boldly towards Earth at the moment. We are talking about an asteroid that has a diameter of 128 meters, those from NASA choosing the name 2019 AV13 for it, so it is a rock that the space agency discovered during 2019.
NASA says that this large asteroid will come close to Earth on August 20, but not very close, but at a distance of 5.2 million kilometers, that is, approximately 16 times the distance between our planet and the moon. This asteroid approaches the Earth only a few days after another, much smaller, will reach a distance 10 times smaller, but the difference between their diameters is about 5 times.
NASA Detected a Large Asteroid and WARNS Humanity about it
NASA considers asteroids with a diameter of up to 150 meters to be a potential danger to the Earth, if they approach less than 7.5 million kilometers from the planet, and 2019 AV13 is also included in this category. Of course, so far no evidence has been discovered that this asteroid would be heading towards Earth due to any deviation in its trajectory, but it is still being carefully monitored by NASA.
This asteroid does not represent any danger for the Earth at the moment, but NASA looks very carefully at everything that happens in the universe, and tries to discover any kind of dangers that could affect the Earth. It is very important that humanity is protected against dangers of this kind, and those from NASA try to discover them all in time, in order to be able to act against them.
NASA will not discover any asteroid that will come too dangerously close to Earth in the coming years, although there are some rocks in the universe that have trajectories that are not exactly "comfortable" from a safety point of view.
