Today i.e. on March 12, two Estroids are getting closer to Earth. The size of one of them is about 350 feet, which is equivalent to a multistory building. According to NASA JPL, ‘Estroid 2015 FM34’ is his name.
It is coming towards the earth at a speed of about 39 thousand 837 kmph. When it passes near the earth, the distance between the two will remain 74 lakh 20 thousand kilometers. For this reason, it has been considered potentially dangerous for Earth. However, Esteroids are unlikely to hit the earth. But scientists will monitor it till it goes far away from the planet.
‘Estroid 2015 FM34’ belongs to the Astroid of Apollo Group. These are sectroids crossing the earth. The name as the name suggests was discovered in the year 2015.
Another Estroid which is coming close to the Earth today is named Estroid (2024 EG2). Its size is as much as an aeroplane. When it comes to our planet, the distance between the two will be 6 lakh 42 thousand kilometers. However, there is no possibility of hitting the earth.
