NASA warning! Blue whale-sized asteroid to fly by Earth at 27,768 km/h today; safe flyby confirmed, here’s what to expect | – Times of India

Asteroids, comets, and other Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) highlight the unpredictability of our solar system. While most pass by harmlessly, their close encounters with Earth offer important opportunities for scientific research. NASA and other agencies closely monitor these objects to assess risks and prepare for potential threats.NASA has issued a notice regarding asteroid 2019 JN2, a space rock approximately 80 feet in diameter, comparable in size to a small airplane. It is scheduled to fly past Earth on November 30, 2024, at 1:09 PM IST. Although the asteroid’s approach is relatively close in astronomical terms, NASA has reassured the public that it poses no threat to Earth. NASA’s ability to track and analyze objects like 2019 JN2 allows us to better understand the dynamics of our solar ...
