According to information published by the NASA Center for Near Earth Studies, it was expected that on July 26, 2019, the asteroid 2010 PK9 will pbad at a distance of 7, 4 million kilometers from the Earth. The asteroid has a diameter of 260 meters.
NASA (National Administration of Aeronautics and Space) considers it "potentially dangerous" because it clbadifies any object located within 150 million kilometers of the Earth, the distance between The Earth and the Sun
However, the asteroid is not likely to have an impact on the Earth unless a change in its orbit. "Subject to a collision with another unknown object, which would change the parameters of its orbit. (…) Otherwise, the body has no way to change the orbit, "said AFP Factual Astronomer of the Institute of Astronomy from UNAM, Daniel Flores Gutiérrez.

On the other hand, the probability that the asteroid 2007 hits the Earth in October Then, as some publications say, it is 0.0000092%, or one in 11 000 000, NASA reports. This asteroid has a diameter of 340 meters.
The scale of Torino – one of the indicators used by the NASA that measures the risks Earth's impact of asteroids over a period of up to 100 years – records 0 possibility that 2007 FT3 has an impact on Earth.
"This time, his distance from the Earth [del 2007 FT3] will be 4 million kilometers. In the following years, the values are closer. As in 2107, it will reach a distance of 212 000 km with respect to the Earth and another in 2116 in which it will be exceeded of 20 000 km of the Earth, distance considered very near, explains it the asteroid the UNAM specialist, reiterating that the only thing that could bring the body to touch the Earth is a sudden change in orbit, which he deems quite improbable.

The astronomer also explained, "It would be really alarming that the l? asteroid pbades a distance measured by the diameter of the Earth [unos 12.700 km, ndlr] so it was already I could fear a collision. "
" As explained NASA the possibility that any of these asteroids be on Earth is practically nil. What happens is that some media, to give a surprise character to this data as unique and not unique, you really need to have enough patience to learn about the real possibilities of the impacts that could occur, "he said. added to AFP Factual the specialist of UNAM.
In conclusion, it is false that the NASA warned against the risk of impact of asteroids on Earth by July 26 or October 3, 2019
