It should be noted that before this, the asteroid 2020 QG passed near the earth. The asteroid passed just 2,950 km above sea level, in the sky just south of the Indian Ocean. The speed of which was 12.3 kilometers per second. However, much less than other asteroids. The asteroid was about the size of an SUV, researchers said.

Every year some small asteroid comes close to Earth. Most of it enters the atmosphere and takes the form of a fireball. Then it fell, and it was destroyed in the earth. At the last moment, the image was caught by the telescope camera for a short time. Such incidents happen throughout the year. Sometimes, however, small asteroids are not detected by telescopes until they approach Earth. But what happens in most cases is that the asteroids leave the Earth at a safe distance.
