NASA follows a meteorite path called 1998 OR
2, for its dangerous passage near the Earth in April 2020. According to the NASA Center for Near Objects, the meteor has a diameter of about 4,114 meters. The meteor will be about six million kilometers away.
Although it may seem safe, it is possible that something goes wrong. For example, the effect of Yarkovsky, a force that makes the meteorites and asteroids widely deviate from their path, by changing the orbits of space objects due to the emission of solar radiation on one faces of the meteorite.
