Asteroid 2008 GO20 will emerge at 11:20 pm on Sunday night from 4.5 million kilometers away from Earth. Its speed can be close to 29,000 km/h. Its size is believed to be around 97 to 220 meters.
An asteroid equal to the Great Pyramid of Giza is going to pass close to the Earth on Sunday.
According to the estimates of the American Space Agency NASA, it will pass close to the Earth but there is no danger from it.
NASA keeps an eye on such asteroids because the orbit of these huge rocks is very large and if there is a difference in it, then the Earth may be in danger in the future.
Asteroid 2008 GO20 will emerge at 11:20 pm on Sunday night from 4.5 million kilometers away from Earth. Its speed can be close to 29,000 km/h.
Its size is believed to be around 97 to 220 meters. Despite this, at present there is no danger to the earth.
The Rocks that are 150 meters across and originate from 7.5 million kilometers from Earth are considered a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA).
NASA's Center for Near Earth Objects monitors such PHAs. However, this does not mean that these asteroids are about to hit the Earth or that they are currently in danger.
Actually, the direction of the asteroid can change over time due to the effect of gravity. When this happens, the risk of a collision increases.
Talk about 2008 GO20, then it passed 13 lakh km away from Earth on August 4, 1901. After this it will come on 31st July, 1935 and now on Sunday and after that on 24th July 2034 it will come out from 50 lakh km away.
