An asteroid is crashing into Earth

A giant asteroid 1km in diameter is flying towards Earth and astronomers consider it "potentially dangerous" to stab our planet on April 19.

However, those who read this news do not prepare to pack up on Mars because they expected the 2014 Aperture Asteroid will pass through the Earth safely, according to RT.

2014 JO25 will graze the Earth at a safe distance of 1.8 million km.

NASA said that this is the closest asteroid to Earth in the last 400 years and at least 480 years after the next similar encounter has occurred.

However, another meteorite could fly across Earth in 2091 and approach quite close to Mercury and Venus.

The projections say 2014 JO25 will graze the Earth at a safe distance of 1.8 million km.

2014 JO25 asteroid discovered by Mt. Lemmon Survey in May 2014.

Astronomers describe it as a bright object and think it will be one of the radar observation targets this year.

Minor Planet Center said the 2014 JO25 was listed as potentially dangerous asteroids (PHA). According to this list, any asteroid larger than 100m and flying close to Earth more than 7,495,839km are considered dangerous.
