Tomorrow, Tuesday, an asteroid with a diameter the same as the Burj Khalifa will pass close to Earth, which could “offer a hazard,” according to USA Today.
The asteroid known as “2022 RM4” has a length that varies from 330 to 740 metres, which is just a little bit shorter than the Dubai Burj Khalifa’s height. It will approach the earth at a speed of around 68 times the speed of sound, or 52,500 mph (84 thousand km/h).
According to the information provided, the actual distance between the Earth and the asteroid is six times that of the Earth from the Moon, making it rather close by cosmic standards. When the asteroid reaches its closest point tomorrow, Tuesday, it will be 1.43 million miles away from Earth.
The asteroid will be close enough to the earth and large enough for astronomers to take telescope images of it.
On September 12, “the asteroid 2022 RM4” was found by astronomers at Halicala, Hawaii, using the panoramic scan and the fast response system. It is described as “a body close to the ground (.. ) and a probable asteroid” by a NASA laboratory.
”
Will that massive asteroid strike the Earth is the unsettling question that everyone asks.
In her answer to this question, NASA denied the possibility that this asteroid was hitting the Earth, and the paths of all bodies near the Earth were estimated for the next hundred years, and decided that the planet was not facing a known threat from the collision of a terrible asteroid collision, according to the American newspaper..
