Elon Musk opened his mouth again, saying that there will be a meteorite crashing into Earth

CEO SpaceX said there will be a large meteorite crashing into the Earth and humans are not prepared for it.

After recommending humanity to attack Mars to control it, SpaceX's CEO Elon Musk posted on Twitter warning that 'there will be a large meteorite crashing into Earth and humans without any defenses'. .

The warning comes after a man named Joe Rogan shared an article of The Daily Express about Apophis asteroid.

Apophis is an asteroid near Earth with a diameter of 370m, first discovered in 2004, which can hit Earth in 2029 but the probability is below 3%. It is classified as a potentially dangerous asteroid by NASA.

NASA discussed this meteorite at the Earth Protection Conference in April, claiming that Apophis would be harmless to the Earth. In fact, it will reach very close to the Earth, so that its gravity can affect the Earth.

'Perhaps, some changes will take place on the surface of the Earth as a small avalanche' , said Davide Farnocchia, an astronomer at JPL's Near-Earth Object Research Center, in a blog post. .

Meanwhile, the post on The Daily Express mentioned that NASA is preparing for bad situations.

'Apophis's arrival near Earth in 2029 will be a great opportunity to study science,' said Marina Brozovi, JPL radar scientist in April. We can observe asteroids evenly. optical telescope and radar. With radar, we can observe details on the surface of asteroids a few meters in size.

However, Elon Musk's warning is not excessive. He issued this warning after an asteroid capable of destroying a city passed through the Earth last month and was almost undetected by an astronomer.

But there is no way that the Earth has no defense. For example, one of NASA's upcoming missions is to send a probe to a distant asteroid to find a way to deflect it from Earth.

NASA's plan is to use SpaceX Falcon 9 missiles to launch this aluminum honeycomb-shaped spacecraft from the air base in California (USA) in 2021.
