NASA warns two gigantic asteroids towards the Earth

NASA's asteroid trackers warned that two gigantic asteroids would pass the speed of the Earth on November 20, 2018. The first asteroid christened, Asteroid 2018 VQ6, will be close at 07:29 GMT, while the second body of the Space, Asteroid VP7 flyover at 07:49.

Initial analyzes by NASA scientists reveal that the VQ6 will be between 12 and 35 meters in diameter. On the other hand, it is estimated that the asteroid VP7 measures between 12 and 28 meters in diameter.

Experts estimate that the first asteroids will reach the nearest possible distance from Earth to 0.02931 astronomical unit (AU) and that the second cosmic body will approach 0.01961 AU. It should be noted that an astronomical unit is equivalent to about 92.95 million miles and is actually the distance between the Earth and the Sun.

While these space bodies are approaching about 2.72 million kilometers, experts have classified these asteroids in the Near Earth Objects (NEO) category. Even if a distance of 2.72 million miles is very gigantic in human terms, it is very close in astronomical terms.

"When they gravitate around the Sun, NEOs can sometimes approach the Earth." Note that a "near" passage astronomically can be very far in human terms: millions or even tens of millions kilometers, "says NASA.

According to NASA, any space body such as an asteroid or comet located on an orbital path around the Sun of about 1.3 AU or 120.8 million miles may be considered an object close to the Earth.

A few days ago, Dr. Iain McDonald, a scientist at the School of Earth Sciences and Oceans at Cardiff University, revealed that the Earth would inevitably be affected by a gigantic space rock one day or the other. The scientist made the remarks while speaking on the BBC's Today program. During the interview, McDonald asserted that devastating events, including asteroid explosions, had occurred throughout history and that such events would also occur in the course of time. l & # 39; future.

Meanwhile, some of the conspiracy theorists began to claim that the arrival of these asteroids could indicate Nibiru's collision course. According to these conspiracy theorists, Nibiru alias Planet X is a ninth rogue planet hiding at the edge of our solar system. These people believe that Nibiru will someday hit Earth, causing an apocalypse.
