NASA: Asteroids with tremendous destructive power can crash into Earth in 2023

A large asteroid with 1,500 times the destructive power of US atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki (Japan) combined, can hit the Earth directly.

Daily newspaper Anh Express leads the sources of the US Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) said that the space block 2018 LF16 , diameter of nearly 215m, has 62 different trajectories impacting the Earth. In particular, each trajectory is expected to cause a collision with the Earth in the next 100 years.

According to NASA, last observed 2018 LF16 on June 16 with calculations showing that the asteroid will crash into our planet before 2117.

The first horrifying collision can occur within the next 5 years on 8/8/2023, 3/8/2024 or 1/8/2025 . Notably, 2018 LF16 is moving in space at a speed of more than 54,000 km / h.

The Express wrote: 'A space rock is twice as tall as the Big Ben clock tower in London, twice as high as in New York and four times higher than Nelson Column in Trafalgar Square'.

Such a large asteroid could have caused a tremendous amount of devastation, equivalent to the explosion of a Soviet 57 megaton nuclear bomb in 1961. NASA will continue to closely monitor the asteroid 2018 LF16 to deliver issue a timely solution.
