The asteroid is similar in size to the Pyramids of Giza, and is likely to crash into Earth on May 6, 2022

NASA has released some information about an asteroid about 128 meters in size, equivalent to the Pyramids of Giza, which is heading towards Earth. The asteroid is called JF1 and NASA scientists predict that it will make contact with Earth on May 6, 2022.

If this happens, the collision will have a devastating level of destruction, about 230 kiloton TNT (230 thousand tons of TNT), 15 times stronger than the US bombing of Hiroshima, Japan. Copy. This power wiped out a large city in an instant and claimed the lives of millions. Even if this asteroid falls into the far waters of the Pacific Ocean, the collision will leave unpredictable consequences such as tsunamis, nuclear winter .

Fortunately, according to the simulations and calculations of scientists, the probability of JF1 meteorite hitting the Earth is very low, only 1 / 3,800, equivalent to 0.026%.

However, to prevent the incident, NASA still decided to closely monitor the asteroid through Sentry, the remote monitoring system. The agency will also take appropriate precautions. According to NASA's prediction, there are 4 more asteroids in danger of hitting the Earth in the future.

1. The discovery of a giant black hole, 70 times the mass of the Sun in the Milky Way, challenges every theory
2. Interesting facts about Saturn
3. These tiny creatures have crossed a distance of 384,400km from the earth and are landing on the moon
