NASA scientists claim that an asteroid 128 meters long and close to the size of the Giza pyramid in Egypt may collide with the earth on May 6, 2022. According to the Russian satellite news agency, NASA has just announced the time when the JF1 giant asteroid will collide with the earth in its current orbit. It is worth noting that this time is not far from now.
NASA predicts that this 128 meter long asteroid close to the size of the Giza pyramid in Egypt may collide with the earth on May 6, 2022. Scientists have determined that JF1's energy to attack the earth is close to 230 tons of TNT, which is 15 times that of Hiroshima's atomic bomb. In just a few seconds, it can cause a devastating disaster, destroy the whole city and kill millions of people.
Although NASA said that the possibility of an asteroid hitting the earth on the expected date is only 2.6%, which is still very small, NASA's monitoring system 'sentinel' will continue to closely observe its movement due to its huge scale and the potential harm of collision.
Netizen comments
Although NASA said that there are nose and eyes, most netizens are still very optimistic.
Some netizens even teased: the movie 2022 is writing a script
Extended reading: NASA says an asteroid will rub shoulders with the earth next month, with a diameter of 620 meters
This is not a 'notice' issued by NASA.
According to the British mirror and Russia today (RT) on October 22, NASA revealed that the Apollo asteroid named '481394 (2006 SF6)' will 'rub shoulders' with the earth at midnight on November 21 GMT. it is expected to fly at a speed of 17780 miles per hour from about 2.6 million miles away from the earth. NASA calls it 'close approach'.
According to the mirror, the asteroid is estimated to be 280 to 620 meters in diameter, which is about twice the height of the Eiffel Tower, a landmark in Paris, France.
Rt said that although the risk of the asteroid hitting the earth is very low, there is also a small chance of 'yakovsky' effect, that is, the heat energy of sunlight will guide the asteroid away from its current orbit, which may make the asteroid closer to the earth.
