Thousands of such asteroids are present in space, which, if hit by the earth, can bring colossal destruction. The first lunar eclipse of the year has brought trouble for the Earth. NASA has issued a warning about an asteroid proliferating towards Earth, which may prove to be a threat to the Earth. Scientists believe that if this asteroid collides with the Earth, it can cause devastation.
The US space agency NASA (NASA) has detected this giant comet 2020 AB2 through the Asteroid Tracking System. This comet will pass close to the Earth on 12 January. The speed at which a comet is moving towards the Earth, if it hits the Earth, it can bring a terrible tsunami. However, NASA says that the comet will pass very close to the Earth.
NASA has also given information about the size and speed of this asteroid. This asteroid 49 feet (15 m) full is roughly equivalent to a double-decker bus and is three times longer than it. According to NASA, this comet is moving towards the Earth at a speed of 28,440 per hour. Its speed can be gauged from the fact that it can complete the distance from London to New York in just 6 minutes. A comet hitting at this speed can bring a tsunami 185 feet high. Let us tell you here for information that the fastest human-made jet Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird could not travel from London to New York in an hour Scientists say that the possibility of an even larger size asteroid hitting the earth cannot be ruled out in the future. However, the probability of this asteroid hitting the ground is very low. According to NASA, only one out of 3 lakh opportunities occur every year in which it is likely to collide. NASA fears that the asteroid that has the potential to destroy a country on Earth could collide within the next 120 years, in the year 2135.
