Three catastrophic meteorites approaching Earth from space, threatening to destroy half the world

New delhi date. 24 July 2020, Friday

About 60 million years ago today, a catastrophe struck the earth, destroying about 80 percent of the world's life, including dinosaurs. A giant meteorite extending about 12 kilometers collided with the earth. This caused a pit about 100 kilometers wide and 30 kilometers deep on the ground. Thus not one but three catastrophes are once again approaching the earth. Scientists around the world, including NASA, are watching. These meteorites can cause great damage if they collide with the earth. One of these meteorites will pass close to the earth on July 24, i.e. today. Scientists have named it 'Asteroid 2020 ND'.

According to scientists, 'Asteroid 2020 ND' is 170 meters long and has a speed of 13.5 kilometers per second i.e. 48,000 kilometers per hour. This will cover a distance of about 50.86 lakh kilometers from the earth. Normally the distance in space is not as large as the speed of a meteorite, but scientists say it will not cause any damage to the Earth.

However it is being speculated that this could destroy half the world if the ‘Asteroid 2020 ND’ meteorite collided with Earth. In astronomy, this type of meteorite is called 'potentially hazardous', meaning a potentially dangerous asteroid.

Scientists have named the second meteorite approaching the Earth 2016 DY 30. It will pass about 34 lakh kilometers from the earth. This is the closest meteorite to Earth. About 15 feet wide, the meteorite has a speed of 54 thousand kilometers per hour. It is also unlikely to collide with the Earth, but if it does, it could wreak havoc on Earth.

The third meteorite to pass close to Earth is known as 2020 ME3. It will pass through a distance of about 56 lakh kilometers from the earth. Its speed is 16 thousand kilometers per hour. It is also less likely to collide with the Earth, but it is also a catastrophic meteorite.

Thus, a large number of meteorites are found in the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, but very few of them pass close to Earth. Its speed may be disastrous for the earth, but its distance is too great. That is why it is less likely to collide with the earth.
