NASA dismisses the information of giant meteorite

According to experts, the meteorite is also 4.5 million kilometers from Earth - a distance of 11.7 times the distance from the Moon to Earth.

Giant meteors will not collide with the Earth

Recently, Mirror has posted a news, NASA dismissed the information that the giant meteorite called 2014 YB35 will "plunge" to Earth on Friday at a speed of 37,000km / h at close range.

Accordingly, the Mirror page has given evidence that this asteroid will fly across the Earth but at a great distance, and it will be a long time before 2014 YB35 can collide with the Earth.

Specifically, according to experts, with a diameter of about 500 - 1,000m, 2014 YB35 will "surf" through the Earth in an hour, at a distance of nearly 4.5 million km.

While the distance between the Earth and the Moon is 384,400km, this asteroid will need to travel a distance of 11.7 times the distance from the Moon to Earth to be able to collide with our green planet. .

According to Dr. Robert Massey of Royal Astronomical Society, "You can imagine that you are standing on the 2014 sidewalk and asteroid YB35 like a truck running across the street - one "The road is so big that there are dozens of lanes running. Therefore, it is silly to believe in the information that 2014 YB35 will graze the Earth at a close distance."

In fact, this asteroid is still three times farther away than the 2004 BL86 meteorite, which just missed the Earth in January 2015.

While the 2004 BL86 meteorite is about the same size as a mountain, grazes the Earth at a distance of only three times the distance from our planet to the Moon (about 1,198,961km) and does no harm to the Earth. Land will be in 2014 YB35 will be " far away" to get closer to Earth.

" There are one million planets in the solar system that are capable of attacking the Earth, but we only discovered 10,000 planets. Small asteroids often fly over the Earth, but the case of flying objects, " Massey said . The size of this giant will only happen once in 5,000 years, for large asteroids on the way to Earth, experts will detect and somehow limit the collision. touch this ".

So, please "eat well and sleep " because there will be no case that the 2014 Asteroid YB35 collides with the Earth will erase a country.
