Two large meteors are flying towards Earth

Astronomers of the US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said on September 9 that they had discovered two meteorites flying toward Earth between the orbit of the Earth and Moon, but not only did not threaten. Blue planet but also opens up the opportunity to observe the universe.

The first meteorite has a width of 10-20m and flies 248,000km from Earth. The second meteorite is smaller with a width of 6-14m, flying closer to Earth at a distance of 79,000km. NASA notes that the distance between the Moon and the Earth at the latest is also up to 384,402km.

NASA astronomers also said that in addition to the two large-scale meteors discovered, between the Earth and Moon orbit there are two smaller meteorites with a width of about 10 meters are considered meteorites among 50 million. Jellies still pass through the Earth daily. Their ability to collide with the Earth's atmosphere is once in 10 years.

According to NASA astronomers, tracking two large meteorites that have just been discovered will be a challenging task for international astronomers.

NASA's observation program near the Earth is responsible for detecting meteorites that could endanger the planet, tracking their trajectories to alert them in time to the risk of them hitting the Earth.
