Washington, October 8, 2020, Monday
The year 2020 has been full of astronomical events. Several asteroids have also passed, one of which is scheduled to pass on November 8. The planet has a 0.5 percent chance of colliding with Earth. According to astronomers, the asteroid known as 2012 VP1 has been under surveillance for the last two years.
The Polomer Laboratory in California recently expressed fears that it could collide with the Earth based on its current location. Astrophysicist Tyson says that this is a stone shaped like a refrigerator which can be used for 205 hours. Km is moving towards the earth. Although this asteroid is not particularly large, it is unlikely to cause any damage if it enters the Earth's atmosphere at one time.
According to data provided by NASA's Asteroid Watch Unit, the asteroid is 4.5 feet wide, so it will split into thousands before it reaches the Earth's surface. A section of the US space agency NASA records the research of asteroids passing close to the earth and keeps track of the past or future coming objects.
NASA estimates that in the next 100 years, there will be as many as three asteroids that could collide with Earth. An asteroid is the same rock as a large planet orbiting solar. A large number of asteroids in the solar system are found in the orbital belts of Mars, Jupiter and Jupiter.
An estimated 1 million asteroids are found. When the solar system was formed 4.5 billion years ago, clouds made of gas and dust could not come in the form of planets. Over time, the rocks were transformed into meteorites. It is also believed that a number of asteroids collided at the time of the formation of the Earth, from which water and organic matter came to form life on Earth. (Picture is symbolic)
