Giant meteorite colliding with Earth? NASA scientists warn

 

Washington: NASA scientists have warned that a giant meteorite orbiting Earth may collide.

Scientists routinely warn that some of the giant meteorites orbiting in space could pose a threat of collision with Earth. Scientists at NASA, in particular, have been making occasional warnings about giant meteorites passing close to Earth for the past several years.

Meteors are the remnants of planets that erupted from the Sun billions of years ago. These orbit freely in space. These are likely to be attracted to the planet by the force of gravity as it approaches the gravitational path of a planet.

If the giant meteorite is attracted by the gravitational force of the earth and falls on a country there is a risk of huge damage. Thus many lives may be lost. Currently the giant meteorite 3889945 is about to pass very close to Earth (2.5 million miles). This giant meteorite, which is larger in diameter than the Empire State Building in the United States and the Eiffel Tower in France, has been threatening the Earth for years, passing close to its orbit.

It is customary for this meteorite to come very close to Earth at least once every two years. Scientists predict that the meteorite will pass very close to Earth in 2063 and again in 2063. NASA scientists are currently researching the possibility of launching a giant spacecraft into the sky against a future meteorite to prevent the meteorite from hitting the Earth.
