A massive asteroid is set to fly close to Earth – here s how to watch

11March 2021 Earlier this year, NASA announced that a massive asteroid is set to have a close encounter with Earth, passing within two million kilometers (in space terms, that’s closer than it sounds, earning it the title of Potentially Hazardous Asteroid). Moving at just under 77,000 miles per hour, and estimated to measure around a kilometre in diameter, Asteroid 2001 FO32 will be the largest and fastest of its kind to pass so close to our planet this year. Last month, a professor of astrophysics at Queen’s University Belfast, Alan Fitzsimmons, told Dazed that if an asteroid that size were to make impact with the planet’s surface, it could result in mass devastation and worldwide climatic effects. Luckily, we don’t have anything to worry about just yet, since astronomers’ observations have shown that it isn’t on track to hit us for at least 200 years.

Is this giant asteroid on course to obliterate Earth? An expert weighs in

So, is it time to start digging the underground bunker, or should we give up completely and go to a quarantine rave (because who cares about COVID in the face of an extinction level event)? Neither, explains Alan Fitzsimmons, an astronomer and professor of astrophysics at Queen’s University Belfast. “An impact of a small asteroid, say 200 to 300 metres across, could devastate a state or small country,” he says. “An asteroid one kilometre across or larger could produce climatic effects across the globe that could result in severe food shortages. Plus, of course, devastation close to the impact point.” A diagram showing the orbit of Asteroid 2001 FO32Image via NASA
