The huge space rock is classed as a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) because of its size but poses no threat to Earth.
A pair of supergiant asteroids (space rocks) dubbed as 1998 FF14 and 2019 SW1 zip past the Earth on Tuesday. Earth had a very close encounter with two ‘potentially hazardous’ asteroids and our planet narrowly escaped the collision.
Though asteroids (space rocks) are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun, they can bring tsunamis, shock waves and flattening winds that could be catastrophic and we are well aware of that. Of 7 lakh asteroids, four asteroids that could strike the Earth are identified as Asteroid 101955 Bennu, Asteroid 2014 JO25, Asteroid 2014 AG5 and Asteroid Apophis.
Asteroid 2019 R91 came within 23,238 miles of Earth’s surface on Thursday but went undetected. According to the NASA, asteroid 2019 R91 was travelling at speeds of 57,937mph and it came closer than some satellites orbiting the Earth.
