NASA has revealed that a planet the size of a skyscraper is heading towards Earth.
The agency’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies stated that the huge planet is four times the size of the Empire State Building (a skyscraper in New York City in the United States consisting of more than 100 floors and a height of 381 meters. It remained the highest in the world for more than 40 years), indicating He indicated that it will approach Earth on the 27th of May, according to what was published by the specialized scientific website “Live Science”.
And NASA explained, according to the “Middle East” website, that the planet, called 7335 (1989 JA), will pass by our planet by about 2.5 million miles (4 million km), or nearly 10 times the average distance between Earth and the Moon.
The asteroid was classified as “potentially dangerous”, given the massive size of the space rock (which is 1.1 miles, or 1.8 km in diameter) and its relative proximity to Earth, which means that it can cause serious damage to our planet if its orbit is constantly changing and the rocks affect the Earth.
According to the agency, 7335 (1989 JA) is the largest asteroid that will approach Earth this year; Scientists estimate that the asteroid is traveling at about 47,200 mph (76,000 km/h), or 20 times faster than a bullet. agencies
