Asteroid 2006 QQ23 just dashed past our Earth, a week ago, inside a separation of 4.6 million miles of Earth, moving at a separation of 10,400 miles for every hour. What's more, presently another goliath space rock, named 2019 OU1, is required to rush past Earth this month. The space rock is moving at a speed of 18 kilometers for each second and is measured at 160 meters (524 feet) in distance across.
According to NASA's CNEOS (Center for Near-Earth Object Studies), space rock 2019 OU1 is relied upon to move past Earth on August 28 this month where it will be at a nearby separation of just 0.00687 galactic units or 639,000 miles from Earth. In any case, the space rock is essentially expected to move past Earth and hasn't been marked 'perilous' or 'risky' by NASA.
There are sure space rocks that have been characterized lethal as of late, for example, the Apophis 99942, a 370 meter-wide close Earth space shake that can start a noteworthy tidal wave on impact with Earth, clearing out the whole west shoreline of North America. Cautioning for Asteroid Apophis has been made by a celebrated American astrophysicist, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, who has anticipated that if space rock Apophis figures out how to go through the gravitational keyhole, it could cause an enormous harming sway on Earth. Another city-executioner space rock 2019 OK had been shown as possibly harming by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) Jet Propulsion Laboratory, one that was immense enough to crash a whole city.
Given the potential mischief that space rocks can cause to Earth, NASA has been concocting plans in progress to all the more likely protect Earth from space rocks. For example, there's an advancement of a colossal shuttle progressing that can hit away the diverse space bodies moving toward our Earth by changing the general directions of these space rocks. NASA additionally has a planetary barrier method, in particular, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), which is planned for shielding Earth from these space rocks. Remembering the way that space rocks continue zooming past Earth nearly on a week by week premise, these activities by NASA appear to be going the correct way.
