NASA: A gigantic 3,400-feet wide ‘Potentially Hazardous’ asteroid is headed towards Earth NASA: The month of May has been relatively quiet so far in terms of asteroids coming close to our planet. While there have been a few small space rocks flying past the planet at a considerable distance, and a few meteors lighting up the night sky here and there, nothing noteworthy has happened. There was just one incident where a 1,600-feet wide asteroid was seen on May 15th but thankfully, it did not come close to Earth. But now, concerns are rising as an asteroid more than double its size is headed towards the Earth. A gigantic 3,400-feet wide asteroid will be making its closest approach to the Earth on May 27th, just 8 days from now. Read on to know if there is a risk of an asteroid strike on Earth. Also read: First ever evidence of Supernova explosion found on Earth The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is an arm of NASA, has revealed that the asteroid is named 1989 JA and it is 3,400-feet or 1.8 kilometers wide. For reference, the asteroid is more than twice the size of the Burj Khalifa. The asteroid is expected to make its closest approach to the Earth at a distance of 40,24,182 kilometers. The asteroid is moving at a speed of 47,196 km/h. While this may look like a large distance to cover, due to its high speed, it can be covered in a matter of hours. Scientists are continuing to watch the asteroid to ensure that it maintains its distance. At the moment, it is expected that the asteroid will make a safe passage and is not likely to impact. NASA: A 3,400-feet wide asteroid is hurtling towards the Earth The asteroid 1989 JA has been classified as an Apollo class asteroid. An Apollo asteroid is a class of Earth-crossing asteroids which have an axis greater than Earth, but its perihelion (point in orbit which is nearest to the Sun) is smaller than the Earth’s aphelion (point in orbit which is farthest from the Sun). And because of this classification, it is also a near-Earth object or NEO asteroid. Now, why this asteroid is considered dangerous for the Earth is because due to its close proximity to Earth and the massive size, it is capable of causing massive destruction to our planet. This is why NASA has called this a ‘potentially hazardous’ asteroid.

This asteroid was last seen in 2015 and it will not be seen again before 2029 when it will cross our path again.

विशाल क्षुद्रग्रह ४४ हजार किमि प्रतिघण्टा गतिमा पृथ्वीको नजिक आउँदै अमेरिका, पुस ८ एक विशाल क्षुद्रग्रहले आगामी बिहीबार पृथ्वीको नजिक भएर तीव्र गतिमा अन्तरिक्ष यात्रा गर्ने भएको छ । अमेरिकी अन्तरिक्ष संस्था नासाका अनुसार विशाल अन्तरिक्ष चट्टान ६ सय २० मिटरको रहेको छ । यस्ता कैयौँ क्षुद्रग्रहहरु पृथ्वीको नजिक हुँदै जाने गरेका छन् । त्यसरी क्षुद्रग्रह आउँदा नासाले हरेकचोटि जानकारी दिने गरेको छ । कतिपय अवस्थामा त एकै दिन धेरै यस्ता क्षुद्रग्रहहरु पृथ्वीनजिक भएर जाने गरेका छन् । गत नोभेम्बर १ तारिखमा पनि यस्तै विशाल क्षुद्रग्रह पृथ्वीको नजिकै आएर गएको थियो । यसले पृथ्वीमा कुनै नोक्सानी गरेको थिएन । नासाका अनुसार उक्त क्षुद्रग्रहले पृथ्वीसँग नजिक भएर अन्तरिक्ष यात्रा गर्नेछ । यस क्षुद्रग्रहको नाम नासाले २०००सीएच५९ दिएको छ । सन् २००० मा पहिलोपटक पत्ता लागेका कारण यसको नाम २०००सीएच५९ दिइएको हो । यो करिब ९१९ फिटदेखि २ हजार ३४ फिटसम्मको रहेको छ । वैज्ञानिकहरुले उक्त क्षुद्रग्रह १ हजार ६३ फिटको आईफल टावर र १ हजार ४ सय ५३ फिटको एम्पायर स्टेट बिल्डिङभन्दा ठूलो रहेको बताएका छन् । नासाका अनुसार यसको गति ४४ हजार १ सय ७२ किमि प्रतिघण्टा हुनेछ । यो क्षुद्रग्रहले पृथ्वीभन्दा ७२ लाख ९१ हजार ४ सय किमि माथिबाट आफ्नो यात्रा गर्नेछ । यो भनेको चन्द्रमासँगको दूरीभन्दा १९ गुणा टाढा हो । सोही कारण यसले पृथ्वीलाई कुनै नोक्सानी नपु-याउने बताइएको छ । तर खगोलशास्त्रीहरुको भनाइमा भने यो पृथ्वीको धेरै नै नजिकको दूरी हो । क्याटेगोरी : अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय तपाईको प्रतिक्रिया ताजा अपडेट - सेयर बजार पुरै रातै - नेपाल अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय नाट्य महोत्सव समापन - एनआरएनएद्वारा झापामा स्वास्थ्यशिविर - डीएभी विद्यालयमा तीन दिने न्यूरो इनक्लुजन प्रशिक्षण एवं कार्यशाला - सम्पदा क्षेत्र अवलोकन गर्न ‘होप अन होप अफ’ सिटी बस सञ्चालन हुने - याडियाको स्कुटर खरिदमा बम्पर फिफा वर्ल्डकप अफर - आईएमई पेको डिशहोम नकआउट तीन सय अफर सहुलियतमा वर्ल्डकप प्याकेज - बिग मार्टमा स्मार्ट क्युआरमार्फत भुक्तानी गर्दा तरकारी तथा फलफूलमा १५ प्रतिशत छुट धेरैले पढेको - बढ्दो सहकारी जोखिम र सहकारी सुशासन - सरकारी विद्यालयको निर्माण सामग्री प्रधानाध्यापकबाटै चोरी प्रहरीले दर्ता गर्न मानेन उजुरी - नागरिक समाज, विकास र जवाफदेहिता - हालको तरलताको अवस्था र त्यसका कारणहरू - असहज परिस्थितिका कारण जटिल बनेको देशको जर्जर अर्थव्यवस्था - उद्योगको क्षमता उपयोग ७० प्रतिशत वृद्धि - संस्थापक सेयरलाई खरिदबिक्रीको व्यवस्था गर्न पाउने नीति बनाउन माग - सुर्योदय टोल विकास संस्थाको तेस्रो बार्षिक साधारण सभा सम्पन्न
