Asteroid Nereus 4660 Getting Closer! 6 percent chance of hitting the earth

ASTEROID Nereus 4660 measuring 330 meters long approaches Earth at a speed of 23,700 km per hour. NASA says the distance of the Asteroid Nereus is 3-4 times the distance between Earth and the Sun, but chances are hit the earth only about 6-7%.

Quoted from the bailey-universe page, Sunday (12/12/2021), NASA showed that an asteroid entered the Earth’s bonds on December 11, 2021. NASA claims that the asteroid will not hit Earth, because the probability is very small. But anything can change, but there’s no need to be afraid.

Asteroid Nereus 4660 has a very high speed, which means that some parts of it, such as rock, can be detached. The rock may fall to Earth, but it will not hit Earth because the rock is so small that it disintegrates when it enters the atmosphere.

NASA has announced that its astronomers are monitoring the asteroid every day, so they can immediately predict whether the asteroid is headed for Earth or changing its orbit. Every 10 years, the asteroid approaches Earth that’s why measurements are taken every 10 years, to see how close it is.

So the asteroid will approach Earth again in 2031, but after 10 years little will change. However, this Asteroid Nereus 4660 has not been found again in 20 years, since the first measurements were made. This asteroid was discovered in 1982 or nearly 40 years ago.

Maybe in 2100, the distance of the asteroid can be so close to Earth that it is very dangerous. However, asteroids would be a pretty good source of income. It is estimated that all the metals in his possession are worth a total of approximately USD4.71 billion or IDR67.7 trillion.
