Space agency Nasa The alert has been issued from the side of a large asteroid to the earth. This asteroid is going to be very close to the Earth after a few hours. Its name is 2023 JB3 Estroid. It will come to the earth in the next 24 hours. NASA JPL It has been told on behalf of that when it reaches the closest point of the earth, its distance from Earth will be 5,420,000 km. This distance is less than 55 million kilometers. Whereas Estroids within a radius of 75 lakh kilometers are considered a threat to the Earth. Accordingly, Estroid 2023 JB3 is going to pass very close.
Another thing of concern is that its size is 160 feet. It is as heavy as a large building. Such a large asteroid coming so close to the earth is not empty of danger. Many times rocky pieces also fall on the earth in the form of meteor bodies. But they are much smaller than Estroid. In 2013, a meteorite named Chelyabinsk in Russia torn the sky which damaged 7 thousand buildings. More than 1400 people were injured in this. It was of 59 feet size.
If compared, Esteroid 2023 JB3 is three times larger than this. In such a situation, the danger can be gauged how much it can be in the event of a collision. However, NASA has not yet issued a warning of any such danger. Nevertheless, space scientists are constantly on alert about asteroid, as they can change their direction anytime.
