A MASSIVE ASTEROID IS SPEEDING TOWARDS EARTH AND IS EXPECTED TO FLY NEAR ON MARCH 4TH

By -


Even today, space remains an impenetrable mystery for scientists all across the world. Scientists from all over the world are tracking the spacecraft's every step in order to better comprehend it. As much as there is a desire to learn about space, there is also a great deal of danger associated with it.

We frequently hear and see numerous such astronomical events that result in a global crisis. Similarly, scientists have detected another asteroid that is heading towards Earth and has been categorised as 'possibly hazardous' by NASA. Asteroids have long posed a significant threat to humanity and the Earth.

Scientists just found that a fast-moving asteroid is heading straight for the Earth. The scientists have also shared information about this. It is predicted that if it continues to develop at its current rate and does not change its course, the earth will face a major disaster.

The asteroid 138971 (2001 CB21), which ranges in size from 560 metres to 1.3 kilometres, will approach the sun at a distance of 49 lakh kilometres on March 4 at 1.30 pm IST. Gianluca Masi of Italy's Virtual Telescope Project snapped a photo of a possibly deadly asteroid hurtling towards Earth at a speed of 26,800 miles per hour.

The astroid completes its orbit every 400 days, according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and its closest approach to Earth will be no early than 2043. The asteroid 2001 CB21 is expected to swing by Earth at a speed of 43,236 kilometres per hour, according to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

The cosmic object was last seen in 2006, speeding by Earth from a distance of 71 lakh kilometres, according to the agency.

Human existence can be wiped out by the collision of a massive asteroid, as has been demonstrated previously. Due to the impact of an asteroid, the existence of a massive dinosaur from Earth came to an end. It is critical to maintain a close check on cosmic occurrences in order to avert any such hazard.

  Mumbai: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced on Wednesday that the Large Area Soft X-ray Spectrometer (CLASS), a payload on board the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter, had discovered solar proton events (SPEs), which considerably increase radiation exposure to humans in space. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs), a tremendous torrent of ionised material and magnetic fields that reach Earth a few days later, causing geomagnetic storms and lighting up the polar sky with auroras, were also observed by the sensor on January 18. According to the ISRO, such multi-point measurements helps in the understanding of propagation and its impact on various planetary systems. Solar flares are dramatic explosions that occasionally spew out energetic particles (called Solar Proton Events or SPEs) into interplanetary space when the Sun is active. The majority of these are high-energy protons that have an influence on space systems and increase radiation exposure to astronauts. According ...
