A meteorite is rushing towards Earth at speeds up to over 33,000 km / h
Recently, NASA has announced a meteorite called 2020CH with a diameter of about 22-55m, is rushing towards Earth at a speed of more than 33,000 km / h.
Recently, NASA has announced a meteorite called 2020CH with a diameter of about 22-55m, is rushing towards Earth at a speed of more than 33,000 km / h.
According to NASA, the probability that this meteorite will hit the Earth is only 0.1% only. In the near future, this asteroid will fly past Earth.
According to astronomers, the meteorite 2020CH achieves the closest distance from the Earth to 0.029AU (1AU ~ 149.6 million km). According to NASA, an asteroid with a distance of less than 7.2 million kilometers from Earth can be dangerous for us.
The size of 22-55 m may seem small but if it collides with the Earth there will be terrible destruction. In 2003, a 20 meter-sized meteorite exploded in the sky of Chelyabinsk in Russia but had the equivalent of 22 kilotons of destruction.
The last time our planet was attacked by an asteroid was 66 million years ago.
On September 9.2, an asteroid named 2020 BQ11 with a diameter of 77 m, about 4.8 million km from us also flew across the Earth. Because the distance is less than 7.2 million, NASA has specially observed it. However, the probability of a collision is extremely low, so tracking is for research purposes only.
