Asteroids have a velocity 'terrible' about to cross the Earth at Christmas

According to new figures released from NASA, from now until 9 January 2019, there will be nine "asteroids" approaching the flank of the Earth.

This asteroid will graze the Earth at nearly 27 times the speed of sound.

The closest will be an asteroid nearly 30m long, moving towards Earth at speeds of nearly 32,000km / h at Christmas. Asteroids are named by NASA scientists XE4 2018 .

Christmas will "welcome" an asteroid to pass at nearly 27 times the speed of sound.

Fortunately, this asteroid is unlikely to harm Earth.

"When they turn around the Sun, it is normal for asteroids to approach the Earth , " NASA said.

In fact, it is said to be close to Earth but the Asteroid 2018 is still about 2 million kilometers from Earth.

With its "small" size, the XE4 2018 cannot be seen with the naked eye as it "glides" through the Earth.

Previously, at the end of 2017, another asteroid called XQ60 also flew to Earth at speeds of up to 56,000 km / h.

Currently, following the asteroid XE4 2018, the largest asteroid approaching Earth in the next few weeks is 2016 AZ8 , which is longer than 380m.
