NASA’s jet propulsion laboratory (Nasa jPL) Every day gives information about potentially dangerous sectroids that are getting closer to the earth. On December 24, two Estroids came close to the earth. Today, on the occasion of Christmas, 2 new Estroids have to be faced by Prithvi. The first of these is Estroid- (2023 yt). This rocky trouble has been discovered this year as the name suggests the name itself. When Estroid, which belongs to the Aton group, comes close to the earth, then the distance between the two will remain 23 lakh 40 thousand kilometers. Its size is about 63 feet, which is as big as a house.
Estroids that pass close to the earth from 80 million kilometers or less distances, NASA considers them dangerous for our planet. The direction of Estroid can change anytime. If these rocky pieces collide with the earth, then there can be mass havoc. It is believed that millions of years ago, dinosaurs from our earth were defeated by destruction after the collision of an astroid.
Today is the name of the second Estroid coming close to Earth- (2023 xk16). Its size is about 120 feet, which is as large as an aircraft. It will cross the earth from 33 lakh 40 thousand kilometers away. Scientists are monitoring both Estroids. So far, it is expected that there will be no change in their direction and they will safely pass through our planet.
