NASA says a giant meteorite will fly over the Earth in the next 48 hours

A giant meteor with a diameter of 2 miles (about 3.2 km) will fly "glide" through the Earth within the next 48 hours, this is the latest NASA announcement. With the name 2000-FL10 and number 86666, this will be the largest object ever to fly near Earth.

Huge meteorites are about to fly through the earth

The meteorite size of 86666 is 15 times greater than the largest meteorite that has ever passed Earth that NASA has discovered or about 1/4 of the size of Mount Everest. At a speed of about 65,000 km / h, it will be a disaster of human destruction if a collision occurs. Previously, an asteroid named 2014-YB35 was also life threatening on Earth when it was about to fly across our planet, though compared to 2000-FL10 it was nothing.

In 1908, a 50-meter asteroid crashed into the Tunguska area (Russian Federation), creating one of the most memorable astronomical events of the 20th century when its shockwave spread to the area. Western Europe. That is enough to understand the terrible destruction if 2000-FL10 collides with the Earth. Despite this, NASA has confirmed that the meteorite will fly through the common house of mankind with the nearest distance of several million kilometers.

The asteroid 2000-FL10 will fly close to the Moon's orbit.

NASA's research program near the Earth has predicted that if 2000-FL10 collides with the surface of the Blue planet, it will create a horrific explosion that can rob the lives of 1.5 billion people in the blink of an eye. eyes and can destroy all life within 24-36 hours later. The astrophysicist Rusty Schweickart says there are still 99% of such asteroids outside space that can destroy life on Earth, so these predictions are almost a vital task for those space research agency like NASA.
