The biggest asteroid approaching Earth in 2021 has passed safely

Via the largest asteroid approaching Earth in 2021, yesterday (Sunday), at a distance of two million kilometers; According to NASA, which gave astronomers the opportunity to study a rock formed at the start of the solar system, according to Agence France-Presse.
This rocky body passed at a distance of about 5 times the distance between the Earth and the Moon, but this was enough to consider the event to be a “potential danger”.
NASA counts and records all celestial bodies that can collide with Earth and cause enormous damage, as happened with an asteroid that appeared 66 million years ago on 75% of living things on Earth .
The asteroid named “2001 FO 32” passed Sunday at the closest point to Earth, according to the Paris Observatory. And the agency “NASA” that it was moving at a speed of 124 thousand kilometers per hour.
The event should allow astronomers to better understand the composition of this rocky body estimated at 900 meters in diameter.
“When the sun’s rays hit the surface of the asteroid, the minerals in the rock absorb certain wavelengths and reflect others,” NASA said.
Studying asteroids and comets approaching Earth gives scientists a better understanding of the history and work of the solar system.
It also helps to create a large database of potential threats. Among them are rocky bodies capable of destroying the planet in a day.
