Is earth in danger?
"Asteroid named 1998 OR2 may collide with earth next year-"-says NASA Currently it is on a trajectory to just fly past our planet. NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) has revealed that the 1998 OR2 asteroid has an estimated diameter of 13,500 feet and is expected to fly past the Earth on April 29, 2020, at 5:56am EDT (3:26pm IST). On its nearest point, the asteroid will be at a distance of approximately 0.04205 astronomical units or around 3.9 million miles from our planet's centre. Sounds safe, right? Well, the asteroid's course can be altered due to a couple of phenomena and it might eventually crash into Earth. Is earth in danger?? Are you worried or not??
