NASA warns 'hazardous asteroid' bigger than the London Eye to fly pass Earth on July 24
According to a report by Birmingham Live, the giant asteroid is one and half times the size of the London Eye and it will make its closest approach to Earth on July 24
Asteroid 2020 ND is a truly monstrous space rock, measuring in at 170 meters and it is going to make a close approach to Earth in just a few days. The whopping space rock is almost half the size of the empire state building, which is 380 meters in height.
And
NASA and the European Space Agency have revealed the asteroid will make its
closest approach to Earth on July 24, when it will come within just zero point
zero three four astronomical units of our planet.
One astronomical unit is the distance between the Earth and the Sun, so the asteroid will be 5 million kilometers away from our planet, which is safe.
The
space rock is also traveling at a staggering speed of 48,000 kilometers per
hour.
At
zero point zero three four astronomical units, NASA has described the object as
a potentially hazardous asteroid.

A
“potentially hazardous asteroid” is an asteroid that is near to Earth with an
orbit that can make close approaches to our Earth and that is large enough to make
significant local damage in the event of an impact.
Specifically,
the asteroids with a minimum orbit intersection distance of 0.05 astronomical
units or less than that are considered “potentially
hazardous asteroids”.
Due
to its relative closeness, it is also a near-Earth object, giving the space
agency the perfect opportunity to study it.
