NASA Earth Asteroids NASA says a gigantic ‘potentially hazardous’ asteroid racing towards Earth today
A massive asteroid is headed for the Earth! According to space agency NASA, a 1,500-feet wide giant space rock will be making its closest approach to the Earth today, April 28. The size of the asteroid is approximately twice the size of the Empire State Building situated in New York City. Due to its size, the asteroid has been labeled as an ‘Apollo-class’ asteroid. The biggest concern right now is whether the asteroid can strike the Earth, even accidentally. In the past, we have seen instances of asteroids which were pulled in due to our Earth’s gravitational force and the space rock ended up crashing into the planet. The most recent example of it is the 2022 EB5, which impacted the Earth’s atmosphere above the western coast of Greenland. While that asteroid was just a couple meters large, if this one were to have a similar fate, it could spell disaster for Earth.
