2020 YA YP4 will pass by at 1.5 and 2.1 million kilometres respectively.Įarlier on January 3, a gigantic 220-meter asteroid which was as tall as the Golden Gate Bridge is tall flew past the Earth at 6.9 million kilometres. Updated 4:48 AM ET, Wed November 24, 2021. This asteroid will be followed up by two more chunks of cosmic debris in the form of the 15-meter 2020 YA1 and the 21-meter 2020 YP4. A new simulation shows that when the DART mission hits the target asteroid, it could send it spinning and wobbling in a dramatic way.The dinosaurs didn’t have a space program, so when an asteroid headed toward Earth with their name on it 65 million years ago, they had no warning and no way to defend themselves. A NASA spacecraft that will deliberately crash into an asteroid has successfully launched. This asteroid will fly past the earth at a distance of 3.5 kilometres.Īnother 15-metre asteroid 2019 YB4 will fly by at a safe distance of 6.4 million kilometres. If it were to crash into the planet, the resulting impact would be the equivalent of 25 megatons to 50 megatons, the same as the largest nuclear bombs in existence today.Īccording to a statement by American space agency NASA, an asteroid called 2021 AC, which is twice the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza, is set to enter the Earth's orbit on Wednesday. The bigger asteroid, 2008 AF4, is nearly half a kilometre wide. This time, he had said the asteroid would fly past Earth sometime during early 2021. Notably, astrologer Nostradamus has made 6,338 predictions out of which 3797 prophecies have apparently proved correct. The report further said the smaller planets are expected to make a thinner impact. According to the Central for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), three of these are small, however, the other two asteroids approaching Earth are said to be bigger than the size of the Eiffel Tower. ![]() ![]() Five asteroids are approaching the Earth and are set to make a close approach today (January 6). Managed for NASA at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Center for Near Earth Object Studies ( CNEOS) accurately characterizes the orbits of all known near-Earth objects, predicts their close approaches with Earth, and makes comprehensive impact hazard assessments in support of the agency’s. The prediction made by popular French astrologer Nostradamus has come true. Asteroid Watch: Keeping an Eye on Near-Earth Objects. ![]() Asteroids, bigger than Eiffel Tower to fly past Earth today
