A distance of a few lakh kilometers is considered minor in space. Scientists consider those asteroids as ‘potentially dangerous’, which pass through a distance of 8 million kilometers or less from the Earth. These asteroids are monitored with the help of telescopes. Each asteroid is given a name starting with a number.
Today, the starting number of all three asteroids coming close to the earth is 2023. That is, they have been discovered this year. in these 2023 KS The asteroid named is the most challenging. An asteroid of about 36 feet can be as big as a bus. It is part of the Apollo group of asteroids. As we told, when this ‘rocky disaster’ will be close to the earth, then there will be 2.35 lakh kilometers between the two. If such asteroids change their direction and collide with the earth, they can bring destruction.
Scientists have believed that millions of years ago, dinosaurs were wiped out from the earth due to the destruction caused by an asteroid collision. Today another asteroid near the earth is- (2023JK3, It is about 93 feet wide i.e. as big as an aeroplane. When it will be close to the Earth, then the distance between the two will be 6 lakh 22 thousand kilometers. It is also very less in terms of space. It is part of the Aten asteroids. These are such asteroids, which cross the earth.
Apart from these two asteroids today (2023 KQAnother space rock named ) is coming closer to the Earth. It is the largest of the three, which can be about 110 feet. When this asteroid will be close to the Earth, then the distance between the two will be 51 lakh 70 thousand kilometers. NASA’s estimate so far is that all three asteroids will not cause any harm to the Earth. Although scientists will monitor them until they go far away from the Earth.
