The giant meteorite can threaten the Earth
American astronomers warn a meteorite of nearly 3.2 km in diameter can cause intense earthquakes and tsunamis that threaten humanity.

Asteroid 2000 ET70 meteorite has a diameter of nearly 3.2 km, about half the size of a mountain.(Artwork: Brand X).
A group of astronomers from the University of California, Los Angeles and many other universities in the US are watching meteorite signs 2000 ET70 to learn more about its size, shape and axis, The Sun reported. These characteristics determine the asteroid's pathway in the universe so it is important to assess their risk to humans.
According to astronomers, the size and direction of 2000 ET70 turns it into a potentially dangerous meteor. Through observations from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico and the Goldstone radar system in California, USA, the team found that the meteorite has a fist-shaped shape and the diameter extends nearly 3.2 km, much larger than the convention. previously calculated.
The 2000 ET70 meteorite has been close to Earth at a distance of 6.8 million km in 2012. However, astronomers predict it can get closer in the coming decades and centuries and does not rule out the possibility Crash straight into the Earth. They also stressed that it is extremely difficult to predict the flight direction of meteorites such as 2000 ET70.
