Asteroids are rapidly approaching Earth: Astronomers estimate that the asteroid is 1,408 feet wide, about the size of New York’s Empire State Building.

Space and sometimes man-made objects, including meteorites, are frequently coming to Earth from the universe. Astronomers have once again warned that a very large asteroid is heading towards Earth. This asteroid is very large in size and could wreak havoc if it collides with the Earth. The American space agency NASA is constantly monitoring the asteroid. NASA says that the asteroid 6, that is, six 600×6, may reach very close to the Earth on May 15. On the night of May 15, the asteroid may come close to Earth. According to astronomers, the asteroid is 1,408 feet wide, about the size of New York’s Empire State Building. Not only that, the asteroid is much larger than the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty.
Therefore, if it collides with the surface of the earth, the destruction caused by it cannot be estimated. Scientists say that this asteroid will pass very close to the Earth on May 14 at 9.4 pm. These asteroids are not too far from Earth. Astronomers say the asteroid will pass about 3 million miles from Earth. This distance would seem too much to you but in reality this distance is not very large in terms of space because the motion of asteroids in space is very fast. This is the reason why NASA is taking this asteroid very seriously. This is not the first time an asteroid has moved closer to Earth. Even before this, in May 2020, an asteroid passed very close to the Earth. It passed about 1.5 million miles from Earth. According to astronomers, these asteroids pass very close to the Earth every two years. It passes close to the Earth every two years during its orbit around the Sun. These asteroids come close to the Earth every two years, these asteroids could once again pass very close to the Earth in 202. Notably, asteroids revolve around the sun. Some very large asteroids could prove dangerous to Earth, scientists warn If an asteroid comes within a distance of 2.5 million from Earth, it could be very dangerous. Now, in May 214, asteroids will come so close to the Earth.
