Giant Asteroid Bigger Than Eiffel Tower Approaching Earth : Okezone techno

A A giant asteroid, comparable in size to a tall building on Earth, is heading towards the planet in December.

As the tracker noted asteroid NASA, this asteroid is larger than the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The approach of this asteroid is estimated on Saturday, December 11 next.

Quoted from Live Science, NASA said the asteroid has the potential to be dangerous because it moves quickly with the closest distance from Earth reaching 3.86 million kilometers or about 10 times the distance between Earth and the moon.

However, scientists say, the massive asteroid is expected to only approach Earth. But his arrival will not have a significant impact.

Previously, NASA had launched the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, aka the mission to hit an asteroid.

This is NASA’s first mission designed to conduct a defense if planet Earth is threatened by an asteroid.
