Asteroid coming towards Earth at a speed of 32000 km, important for Earth for next 24 hours
This year is going in a very different way for scientists. Because every day asteroids are passing near the earth. Recently, i.e. on September 28, an asteroid passed near the Earth. At the same time, now another asteroid is coming from near the earth with a speed of 32000 km. NASA scientists have issued an alert regarding this. The name of this asteroid is 2022SB9.
According to scientists, 30 asteroids have passed near the Earth in the month of September. At the same time, this process will continue in October also. However, these asteroids will leave a certain distance from the Earth. These asteroids have been kept in the dangerous category by NASA. This is the reason why they are being monitored by NASA.
Asteroid Coming at a speed of 32400 kilometers per hour
According to NASA, Asteroid 2022 SB9 is coming towards Earth at a staggering speed of 32400 kilometers per hour. According to scientists, this asteroid will reach the closest 2 million kilometers to Earth on October 2.
According to the-sky.org Asteroid 2022 SB9 belongs to the Apollo group of asteroids located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It takes 1590 days to complete one revolution of the earth. During this journey, its maximum distance from the Sun is 649 million kilometers and the minimum distance is 149 million kilometers. Learn How NASA Tracks Asteroids NASA tracks asteroids in the sky using its ground-based telescopes such as Pan-STARRS 1 in Maui, Sky. Along with this, NASA also identifies thousands of other near-Earth objects (NEOs). NASA can use this infrared data to track the asteroid’s orbital path and predict its orbit years in the future. So far, about 28000 asteroids coming close to Earth have been tracked.
