“NASA Issues Warning of Giant Asteroid Approaching Earth as a Potential Threat”

[Voice of Hope May 20, 2023](Author: Li Sirui) The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) recently issued a warning that a giant asteroid with a width of 656 feet (about 200 meters) is approaching the earth at a speed of 82,000 kilometers per hour. This asteroid is approaching the earth at a speed of 82,000 kilometers per hour. NASA has been paying attention to a huge asteroid named 2023CL3. NASA has included 2023CL3 in its list of space rocks that have come close to the earth.

It is reported that the size of 2023CL3 is more than twice the size of the New York landmark Statue of Liberty. If such a large asteroid collides with the earth, it may cause serious damage, so NASA regards it as a “potential threat.”

NASA stated that 2023CL3 will fly by less than 7.24 million kilometers from the earth on May 24. Although this number sounds far away, it is not a safe enough distance for the entire space.

Some experts worry that Earth is not ready to protect itself from a potentially deadly asteroid. In addition, Musk once tweeted: “Eventually a big rock will hit the earth, because we currently have no defenses.”
