A Gigantic 1,600-ft wide asteroid to come close to Earth, says NASA; know when- Countdown on In just 72 hours, the Earth will need to brace itself for a potential asteroid strike. According to NASA, an asteroid which is larger than the Empire State Building in New York City will come dangerously close to our planet. This 1,600-feet wide asteroid poses a threat unlike most asteroids this year due to its massive size and close proximity to Earth. If the asteroid were to impact the Earth, humanity will surely witness massive amounts of destruction as well as long term consequences in terms of forest fires, drastic changes to climate, earthquakes, tsunamis and more- something on the lines of what happened to the dinosaurs. Find out the chances of this asteroid striking Earth. Also read: A large asteroid came very close to the Earth on Monday. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory that is run by NASA has revealed that the asteroid is named 388945 (2008 TZ3) and it is 1600-feet or 488 meters wide. The space rock is going to make its closest approach to the Earth at a distance of 5,710,000 kilometers on May 15. The asteroid is moving at a mind-numbing speed of 29,520 km/h. Even though it sounds like a large distance, at the high speed it is traveling, it can cover the distance in a matter of hours. In fact, due to its close proximity to the Earth, the asteroid has been billed as a near Earth (NEO) asteroid. NASA has been continuously watching 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 against Earth. NASA: 1,600-feet wide asteroid to come dangerously close to the Earth As the asteroid 2008 TZ3 veers too close to the Earth, it has been classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid. This Apollo-class asteroid comes close to the Earth every two years as its orbit period is approximately 732 days. Its last approach near the Earth was on May 10, 2020 but it was a relatively safe passage. However, it should be noted that the asteroid is coming extremely close to our planet this time and it will never come this close in our entire lives. This is why this particular passage of the asteroid is being monitored so carefully. Also read: NASA DART mission is set to deflect a massive asteroid. The NASA Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO) has been closely observing the asteroid for any last moment deviation. The Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO) has been an integral part of the American agency observing and mapping out all the asteroids that can pose a threat to us.

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
