The Dhaka Times Desk Astronomers believe an asteroid as big as the Eiffel Tower could fly past Earth next week. However, scientists say that it will not pose any threat to the lives of Earth's inhabitants.
According to NASA, the closest object to Earth is an asteroid. Khabar International The News.
An astronomer involved in this matter said, through 260 observations in the last 17 years, astronomers have been able to determine the orbit of this asteroid named 2006 HV5 and based on that calculate its past, present and future position very precisely.
Astronomers believe that this asteroid will pass a distance of 1.5 million miles, which is about 6.3 times the distance from the Earth to the Moon.
Dr. associated with the American Astronomical Society. Susanna Kohler reported that the asteroid 2006 HV5 was first discovered in 2006. It was discovered under the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project. This asteroid poses no threat to humans on Earth.
He said that an asteroid or rock of this size or larger comes close to Earth only once a year. NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies lists this rock approach as 'Rare-2'.
Asteroid Protection Project: Linear is a project that works to detect and monitor near-Earth objects in space. It is a collaboration between the United States Air Force, NASA and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory.
Note that the diameter of the 2006 HV5 asteroid is about 1,000 feet, which is very close to the tallest 1,83-foot Eiffel Tower in Paris. But even though it is so big in size, it cannot be seen with the naked eye.
