This calamity is rapidly advancing towards the earth
Scientists have discovered an enemy of Earth in space. Earlier it did not harm our blue planet but now its speed and direction have changed. Now it is moving towards the Earth. It is a planet. Scientists had speculated that it would come very close to the Earth, but now it is feared that it will attack the Earth.
- Asteroid is moving rapidly towards Earth
- 48 years from today, 2068 will attack Earth
- Asteroid apophysis is 1200 feet wide
3 This football-shaped asteroid is known as apophysis. It was discovered by scientists in 2004. Scientists fear that it may hit the Earth. Although the probability of collision is negligible, but scientists are not learning from this collision.
48 years from today, 2068 will attack Earth
The US space agency NASA said that the asteroid apophysis is 1200 feet wide. It is approximately the size of a three and a half football field. If it continues at this pace, it will attack Earth in 2068, 48 years from now. Let me tell you how this asteroid suddenly moved towards Earth while moving in safe orbit.
What is the Yarkovsky effect?
According to Space.com, what happens when a rock moving in space changes its path slightly from the heat of the sun, is called the Yarkowski effect. This effect changes the direction and speed of the asteroid. Sometimes falls. Sometimes accelerated. This speed is dangerous for objects coming into contact with asteroids in space.
Not likely to hit the earth
Scientists around the world, including NASA, are evaluating the path, speed, and damage of the asteroid Apophis. Scientists say that it is likely to hit the Earth only once in 1.50 million. But its correct information will be known only after 8-9 years when it will pass very close to the earth.
First passed close to the Earth in 2029
Even before 2068, this asteroid will pass close to the Earth. According to NASA calculations, it was previously estimated that the asteroid Apophis would pass closer to Earth on 13 April 2029. At that time, it would be just 31,000 kilometers outside the Earth. This distance is not much in the world of astronomers.

If it hits the earth, it can bring a lot of destruction
If the asteroid hits the Earth in the year 2068, it can bring a lot of destruction. It may also happen that a large part of the Earth is completely destroyed. Had it fallen into the sea, a catastrophic tsunami could have occurred. If it hits the ground, many countries may fall victim to it.
