Three more giant asteroids will pass by Earth, no danger
On July 25, when the asteroid '2008 GO20', three times the size of the Qutub Minar, exceeded the safe distance from Earth, scientists were relieved to find but within a week not one or two but five Asteroids were coming to Earth at very high speeds.
Two of these passed through Earth on July 26 and 27, while three major asteroids are on approach to Earth, which will pass through Earth on July 31 and August 3. One of them is equal to Qutub Minar and the other twice the size of Qutub Minar. All of these asteroids will only pass a safe distance from the earth and do not pose a threat to the earth.
On July 26 this week, the 170-foot-size asteroid '2021 OF', just smaller than Qutub Minar, passed 4.4 million km from Earth at a speed of 31,700 kmph. On July 27, a 67-meter-long asteroid called '2020 BW 12' also passed a distance of 6 million kilometers from Earth.
Of the three asteroids landing on Earth this week, the largest asteroid in size twice '2019 YM6' will pass 68 lakh km from Earth on July 31. On August 3, two asteroids will pass near Earth at the same time. Of these, 92 meters '2020 PN1' will pass within 37 kilometers of Earth.
On the same day, another asteroid '2021 NL 4' equivalent to Qutub Minar will also travel more than 49 kilometers from Earth. According to Dr. Shashibhushan Pandey, a scientist at the Arya Bhatt Research and Observational Science Institute, Ariz., Any asteroid or comet that extends a distance of up to 75 lakh kilometers from the earth and usually larger than 150 meters in size is retained in the Potentially dangerous category and its special monitoring is performed.
