The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) made a statement about a huge asteroid rapidly approaching the Earth. The space agency reported that on the morning of December 24, a huge asteroid called 2024 XN1 will pass to Earth without posing a danger.
It was recorded that the asteroid, which is the size of a 10-storey building, will pass at a distance of 7.21 million kilometers from Earth, traveling at a speed of more than 23 thousand kilometers per hour.
“THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ASTEROID HITTING THE EARTH…”
Astronomer Jess Lee from the Royal Greenwich Observatory said that the probability of the asteroid hitting the Earth is zero, adding: “The asteroid will be quite far away, so it does not pose a danger to the Earth. “If an object of this size had hit our planet, the consequences would have been very devastating,” he said.
