NASA alert! Planet-killer 93-foot asteroid zooming towards Earth today; SHOCKING discovery!

Will this asteroid impact the planet and can cause global catastrophe? Here's what NASA says about this scary space rock.

Another day another asteroid heading for Earth, it has been the story of this month so far. 5 asteroids have passed by Earth closely within the last two days and now NASA  has issued an alert that one more is already on its way. Asteroids are Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) that are often found orbiting the Sun in the main asteroid belt near Jupiter. Most of them burn up and disintegrate before reaching the planet but some can still pass through.

Earth has been in the firing line of various space phenomena this past couple of weeks including solar storms and asteroids. On the planet itself, hurricanes have been relentless causing serious damage. While asteroids have not caused any damage but they have been a constant threat as more than 40 asteroids have flown by Earth at very close quarters in the last month alone. Now NASA has warned that another asteroid 92-foot monster is on its way and it could be a potential planet killer shocking date was discovered on October 2.

Key details about Asteroid 2022 TF.

NASA's planetary Defense Coordination office that, it is responsible for monitoring the skies and also for keeping a watch on various Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). If any (NEOs) are at the risk of earth impact NASA red flags it and issues an alert the same organization has issued an alert about an asteroid name asteroid 2022 TF which is headed straight for Earth today, October 4 accordingly to NASA 93 foot while asteroid will make it close this approach to the planet today at a distance of just 2.65 million km. it is hurting towards the speed of 37008 km per hour. According to sky.org, the extra 2022 TF belongs to the Apollo group of asteroids that takes 1110 days to complete one trip around the sun during which the maximum distance from the sun is 476 million kilometers and the nearest distance is 152 million km.

Did you know tech is the behind the research?

The international research team identifies the impact sites of asteroids using CSI crime-solving techniques. According to the research, only 30% of the Holocene asteroid's impact craters have been identified in the last 11,650 years. The researchers used a charcoal sample from crater sides to identify the asteroid impact. A recent article published by the geological society of America's journal Geology explains that the bodies of the organisms which died due to the asteroid impact can be analyzed to find out the extent of damage caused by the asteroid impact. By studying how an organism die researchers can find out the condition in which they were killed which reflects the properties of an asteroid

Conclusion:

NASA conducts surveys then using its crown base telescope such as the Pans-STARRS1 in Maui, Hawaii as well to identify thousands of near-Earth objects(NEOs). The space agency also utilizes a space-based telescope called NEOWISE to identify hundreds of others while scanning the skies at near-infrared light from its polar orbit around Earth
