Asteroid 1994 xd will come close towards Earth 12th June with a speed of 77301 km closest approach says nasa

Asteroids are coming and going near the earth. This time the challenge that is moving towards our planet is giant. According to the US space agency NASA, an Estroid named 488453 (1994 XD) will reach our Earth on 12 June. Its size is about 1500 feet, which is as much as a bridge. 488453 (1994 XD) is included in the category of ‘potentially dangerous’ for Earth. If such a large estateroid collides with the earth, it can cause mass havoc.

NASA JPL’s According(1994 xD) When it comes close to the earth, then the distance between the two will be reduced to 31 lakh 60 thousand kilometers. Currently, it is traveling at a speed of 77 thousand 301 kilometers per hour. There is no possibility of this sectroid colliding with the earth. But as big as its size is, it causes anxiety.

This Esteroid has been getting closer to the earth for more than 100 years. In the year 1904, it passed through the earth from a distance of just 2.5 million kilometers. It also came close to the earth in the year 2012. Once again (1994 XD) has forced scientists to monitor him.

Scientists will keep an eye on this sectoid until it goes far away from our planet. It belongs to the Apollo Group of Estroids. The group of this group is known as the Earth-Crossers. If an Estroid changes its direction and collides with the earth, it can cause great havoc. Millions of years ago, dinosaurs from our earth were also killed due to destruction after the collision of an Estroid.

Estroids are also called short planets. Just as all the planets of our solar system circles the Sun, similarly Estroids revolve around the Sun. About 4.6 billion years ago, the remaining rocky remains from the early formation of our solar system are Estroid. Scientists have so far detected 11 lakh 13 thousand 527 Estroids.
