NASA warns of an asteroid: should two gigantic space bodies fly over tomorrow?

NASA, the US space agency, warned that two asteroids, of a length of 120 meters in diameter, would be close at hand with Earth on Sunday, November 25.

The first asteroid close to the Earth is calling it "2009 WB105 & # 39; It should appear around 12:14 GMT (17:45 PST). According to NASA experts, this asteroid could measure between 53 and 120 meters in diameter. Even in its smallest speculated size, this asteroid could be as big as an Olympic pool. If it is 120 meters in diameter, it could be much bigger than a football field.

Although space bodies traveling at a speed of 40,000 km / h do not hit the Earth, NASA plans to carefully observe its trajectory because it is an object close to the Earth (NEO). NASA defines NEO as any space body lying on an orbital path around the Sun of 1.3 astronomical units (AU). It should be noted that an AU equates to about 92.95 million miles, which actually corresponds to the distance between the earth and the sun.

In 2009, the WB150 is expected to approach 3.7 million kilometers from Earth, and this is undoubtedly a very short distance in astronomical terms. Only five hours after the close flyby of WB150, another relatively smaller asteroid will also make its approach closer.

A few days ago, November 20, 2018, two other asteroids from 12 to 35 meters in diameter approached. Interestingly, space agencies such as NASA are finding more and more objects near the Earth every day, which has led many people to think that our planet would collide with a rogue space body one day or l & # 39; other.

Dr. Iain McDonald, a renowned scientist from Cardiff University, believes that the collision of the Earth with a rogue space body is only a matter of time. During his talk on the BBC's Today show, McDonald said that devastating events, such as asteroid-related incidents, had already occurred, and that such dreadful events will happen again. in the future.

Meanwhile, a group of conspiracy theorists began to assert that an increase in the number of asteroid approaches could indicate an imminent apocalypse. These conspiracy theorists believe that the rogue planet Nibiru is now in a collision course and that the asteroids that come closer are approaching the arrival of the deadly planet.
