According to the Daily Star on January 20, NASA experts said that a total of 8 asteroids passed by Earth in January this year. According to NASA, some of these asteroids are the size of the London Eye.
Therefore, experts are always on the alert for conditions in space to ensure that emergency measures can be taken as soon as an accident occurs.
The largest of the eight asteroids will be sweeping across Earth at an astonishing speed of 32,600 miles per hour, and scientists hope to track its whereabouts.
The new Netflix movie "Don't Look Up," starring Leonardo the Little Plum and Jennifer Lawrence, tells the story of an asteroid hitting Earth.
But don't worry too much, scientists in reality are still sure about this. These eight asteroids only fly close to Earth and do not threaten the safety of Earth.
Of the eight asteroids, the closest to Earth is called "2022 AE6", which is about 20-45 meters in diameter. It skimmed over the Earth on January 20, just 1.1 million miles (about 1.77 million kilometers) away from the Earth.
The names of the remaining 7 and their dates close to Earth are "2022 AB", January 20, "2022 AX4", January 21, "2018 PN22", January 21, "2017 XC62", January 24, "2021 BZ" January 27, "2022 AN5", January 28, "2022 AG6", January 28, respectively.
There aren't many job titles cooler than Guardians of the Earth, not just NASA scientists, but all scientists around the world who have the hope of all mankind to create a safer interstellar space for the people of the world.
Throughout, astronomers have been keeping a close eye on the conditions above human heads, wary of any dangerous asteroids or comets.
NASA is currently working on a mission called the double asteroid redirection test, which is the world's first comprehensive test of a spacecraft impact when an asteroid hits Earth, using a spacecraft impact to change its orbit to protect the Earth from potential asteroids or comets.
With this security mission, Earth will be more immune to asteroid threats.
