A majestic asteroid is approaching the Earth. The cosmic body should fly as short as possible to reach our planet within 2 months.
A great asteroid flying near the Earth: what we know The cosmic body is called 2008 OS7 - according to NASA's asteroid tracking service, the diameter of the object will be 210 to 480 m. The dimensions can be equal to the area of the average sports stadium.
NASA is keen to be aware of potentially dangerous asteroids, and 2008 OS7 is one of them. You will have to fly to Earth at a distance of 2.85 million km. Astronomers confirm that the chances of contact or penetration into the Earth’s atmosphere are very small.
It appears that there will be as many as 18 potentially unsafe asteroids in 2024. However, they appear above the Earth at a distance of 7.5 million km.
This morning, we ourselves are launching various devices into space for our own experiments. It recently became known that the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars ended its mission due to a technical failure. The device has damaged its shovel and is now unable to fly over the surface of the planet.
