NASA has detected a massive asteroid that’s big enough to wipe out an entire city if it causes an impact event on Earth. According to the space agency, the asteroid is expected to approach the planet in less than a week before Christmas.
A massive fireball caused by a meteor was spotted flying over Ireland on Monday. In a video captured by an eyewitness, the meteor appeared like a green glowing orb against the dark backdrop of the night sky.
NASA is currently monitoring four asteroids that are expected to approach Earth on Tuesday. According to the space agency’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), one of the incoming asteroids will approach Earth from a distance that’s closer than that of the Moon.
A virtual observatory was able to catch a glimpse of the massive space rock classified by NASA as a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) as it narrowly missed Earth during its flyby last week. Based on the data collected by NASA, the object is bigger than the tallest man-made skyscraper in the world.
NASA’s asteroid tracking system has detected four space rocks that are currently hurtling toward Earth. According to the space agency, one of the approaching asteroids is almost as big as the Great Pyramid of Giza.
NASA’s asteroid tracking system has spotted three space rocks that are expected to approach Earth this weekend. According to the data gathered by the agency’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the biggest asteroid in the group is wider than the wingspan of a Boeing 747 plane.
NASA has detected the biggest asteroid to approach Earth this month. The asteroid, which is larger than the tallest man-made structure in the world, can easily wipe out an entire major city if it ends up colliding with Earth.
A scientist has identified a massive asteroid that’s powerful enough to wipe out an entire city or even a state. The scientist also noted that initial predictions indicated that this asteroid has a chance of hitting Earth in less than 10 years from now.
An asteroid that's said to be as big as two Titanic ships was recently spotted headed to Earth.
NASA’s asteroid monitoring system has detected three asteroids that are currently approaching Earth. Given the sizes of the approaching asteroids, they could cause powerful explosions in the atmosphere if they collide with the planet.
NASA’s asteroid impact monitoring system has detected a space rock that has a non-zero possibility of hitting Earth in the near future.
NASA is currently monitoring two asteroids that are expected to approach Earth on Wednesday. Based on the size of the incoming asteroids, they can cause a huge explosion in the atmosphere if they end up hitting the planet.
A scientist warned that blowing up an asteroid in a last-ditch effort to save Earth could have serious consequences. Aside from causing multiple impact events, this strategy could also cause thousands of radioactive asteroids to rain down on Earth.
A large asteroid is set to pass by Earth next month.
Scientists warned that the small meteor that turned into a flying fireball over Japan in 2017 could be part of a massive binary asteroid. According to scientists, the main asteroid, as well as its orbiting satellite, could follow the trajectory of the meteor and collide with Earth in the future.
NASA has received the green light to proceed with the necessary preparations for the launch of a new space mission in 2021. Dubbed as Lucy, the upcoming mission will focus on studying and visiting the asteroids near Jupiter.
NASA’s asteroid tracking system has spotted three space rocks that are currently hurtling towards Earth. If any of these asteroids collide with the planet, it will most likely create a huge explosion in the sky instead of hitting the ground.
A scientist warned that a major asteroid impact in the Atlantic Ocean would result in very high death tolls. The scientist also described what would happen to the coastal regions if a massive asteroid breaches Earth’s atmosphere and hits the ocean.
NASA is currently monitoring a group of asteroids that are headed for Earth. One of the approaching asteroids is large enough to wipe out a major city if it hits the planet.
NASA’s asteroid tracking system has detected three space rocks that are currently hurtling towards Earth. One of the incoming space rocks will approach Earth from a very dangerous distance.
NASA is currently monitoring a group of asteroids that are headed for Earth. One of the approaching asteroids is big enough to penetrate the atmosphere and cause an impact event if it hits Earth.
NASA’s asteroid tracker has identified a space rock that’s currently hurtling towards Earth. Based on the size of the incoming asteroid, it will most likely create a huge explosion in the atmosphere if it ends up hitting Earth on Thursday.
