So far, we are not sure how much damage will be caused if 2000qw7 really hits the earth, but I believe no one will want to see this scene.
Now September has arrived.
It last approached the earth on September 1, 2000.
It is preliminarily estimated that its diameter is between 951 and 2132 feet (about 290 to 650 meters), which is only slightly shorter than the Khalifa tower with a height of 2716 feet (828 meters), but almost twice the height of the Empire State Building with a height of 1250 feet (381 meters).
In other words, 10 days after the countdown, a monster will greet the earth with surprise! So what is the origin of this asteroid? It is reported that this asteroid named 2000qw7 has an indissoluble bond with the earth.
According to NASA, this giant, which is different from ordinary asteroids, will cruise the earth in less than a month, and its diameter is almost comparable to that of the world’s tallest building, the Khalifa tower in Dubai.
A 10 kilometer asteroid is enough to cause the earth’s climate and lead to the extinction of life, because scientists speculate that dinosaurs were destroyed tens of millions of years ago.
Recently, neeos (near earth object research center) under the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, confirmed the news again.
Sure enough, there are reports that the planet will fly over the earth on September 14 (Eastern time, which is about September 15).
Secondly, it is considered to be a near earth object.
Asteroids and other space objects are considered near earth objects if they pass through the earth within 1.3 astronomical units (one astronomical unit is the distance from the earth to the sun, i.e.
Like the earth, asteroid 2000qw7 orbits the sun.
It’s a free subscription.
It is reported that, first of all, it will fly over the earth’s surface at an amazing speed of 14361 miles per hour.
Please rest assured to pay attention.
In other words, it is very huge.
Scientists officially announced to the whole earth that there are only 10 days left for this asteroid to fly over the earth! Not long ago, NASA warned that an asteroid named 2000qw7 would fly to earth in September.
Most importantly, the asteroid 2000qw7 is not here to meet the earth.
According to JPL, after passing through the earth on September 14, the asteroid is expected to pass again on October 19, 2038.
Generally speaking, an asteroid with a diameter of 100 meters burns violently in the atmosphere and is about 20 cm in size when landing.
The size of the 2000qw7 is about 3000 feet to 1.5 miles, about 914 meters to 2414 meters.
It is expected to pass through our blue planet on September 14.
At that time, it was believed that mankind was fully prepared to deal with it!..
But the good news is that the asteroid will fly safely over the earth 3.3 million miles away and will not land on the earth.

Because the distance from the moon is only 13.87 times that of the earth.
However, it only occasionally intersects with the earth.

149.6 million kilometers).
However, NASA remains vigilant because a distance of 3 million miles is really not a safe distance in space.
