(6 years ago)An asteroid will pass past our planet on February 15th and has a width of about a mile [1 km]. A spatial rock of this mass can kill millions of people in the area where it strikes (if it crashes to the ground) and can cause global disaster. The US National Space Management Administration says [...]
US National Space Management Administration says it is following asteroid advancement 2002 PZ39, which is coming to the ground at more than 57,240km/h.
The spatial rock, which ranges from 440m to 990m, will have a near “access to our planet around 11:05, on February 15th.
If such a body crashed into the earth, there could be consequences for the entire planet.
If a rocky meteoroid larger than 25m, but less than a mile, hit the ground, it would only cause damage in the impact area. We believe that an asteroid of two miles or more wide, has consequences for the entire planet”, says NASA Agency.
It is estimated that the body will pass 5.77 million miles [5.77 million km] near the earth, which, although it may seem, may seem to be a safe distance, calculations do not have absolute results and may change.
