By September 12, five asteroids will approach Earth. This has been reported Web site National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The closest house-sized asteroid will make its closest approach to Earth on September 6, according to the space agency. It is stated that it will pass at a distance of 5.11 million km from the planet.
The next two astronomical objects, the size of an airplane and a bus, will approach Earth at 4.08 million and 5.72 million km, respectively, on September 8, as NASA noted. On September 10, two more airplane-sized asteroids will be near the planet. The minimum distance between them and the Earth would be 1.52 million and 2.66 million km, respectively.
August 9 at NASA’s Near-Earth Objects Research Center reportedIt is stated that a potentially dangerous asteroid will fly about 6 million kilometers from Earth on August 23. The minimum distance between the celestial body and the Earth was expected to be 0.04 astronomical units, or about 6.1 million km.
Prior to that, Nikolai Zheleznov, senior researcher at the Institute of Applied Astronomy (IPA) of the Russian Academy of Sciences declarationThe potentially dangerous asteroid Apophis, which will fly at a record close distance to Earth in 2029, could destroy a region comparable to parts of the Russian Federation if it crashes onto the planet.
