Just on 24/7, there were 3 meteors coming towards Earth, including one even closer to Earth than the Moon.
On July 24, three large asteroids approached Earth, including one that moved closer to our planet, even closer than the distance between the Moon and Earth.
With a diameter of up to 120 meters, the 2019 OD meteorite approached our planet at a speed of about 70,000 km / h from a distance of 357,532 km from Earth, said the Center for the Study of Objects. NASA Near-Earth Devices (CNEOS). This potentially destructive object is already closer to the Earth than to the Moon – the satellite is 385,000 km from our planet.
The OE 2019 and HM10 2015 meteors are also approaching Earth at distances of 967,000 km and 4.6 million km, respectively. On average, NASA detects about 30 Near Earth Objects (NEO) every week, and the possibility of a large object near Earth astronomically colliding with our planet is very low.
In June 2019, an “endangered” asteroid flew close to Earth at a distance of 6.8 million km. A month earlier, an extremely large asteroid with an entire satellite orbiting it had moved toward Earth but was still within 8 million km of our planet.
