On December 27, 2022, foreign media reported The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is monitoring asteroid 2010XC15, the largest of five asteroids that have “paraded” towards Earth. And across the world at the closest distance at about the same time, December 26-27, 2022, according to local time
NASA Earth Defense Coordinating Office Asteroid 2010XC15, which monitors dangers from objects approaching Earth orbit, Near-Earth Objects (NEO) has “raised the red flag,” eyeing asteroid 2010XC15 with excitement . due to the orbit of this asteroid With a diameter of about 570 feet or about 173 meters, it will pass the world at its closest distance on December 27, according to United States local time. in a distance of only 772,318 kilometres
According to the report ofNASAThe asteroid 2010 XC15, which is on its orbit towards Earth, has increased speed to 36,358 kilometers per hour. This is faster than a hypersonic guided missile. But what sets 2010XC15 apart from other asteroids is its massive size. which NASA says is like a “skyscraper” coming towards the world
According to sky.org, asteroid 2010XC15 is an Apollo group asteroid. Scientists have detected this asteroid. and called 2010XC15 from more than 10 years ago on December 5, 2010

According to NASA, the orbits of various asteroids It can be altered by Jupiter’s enormous gravity and sometimes by the orbit of other planets. like Mars or other planets it can cause the asteroid’s orbit to change as well
