Nasa alert on asteroid 2023 cy1 says 111 feet asteroid is moving very fast towards earth if it hits destruction

Washington: There are many such asteroids in space which pass very close to the Earth every week. But not all of them pose a threat to the earth. The American space agency NASA describes such asteroids as potentially dangerous if their distance from Earth is less than 8 million kilometers. NASA recently reported that within the last few days, 6 asteroids passed very close to the Earth, although none of them were potentially dangerous. However, due to exposure to the Earth’s gravitational field, the direction of these asteroids could change, and they could roll towards the Earth.

Now, NASA has revealed that another asteroid is headed towards Earth. NASA has issued an alert regarding an asteroid named Asteroid 2023 CY1. Today, on February 17, this dangerous asteroid is expected to come very close to the Earth. According to the American Space Agency, the closest distance of this asteroid from the Earth will be only 1.7 million kilometers (about 1056331.03 miles). The asteroid is already coming towards the earth, whose speed is 23967 kilometers per hour. According to NASA, Asteroid 2023 CY1 belongs to the Apollo group of asteroids, a group of near-Earth asteroids named after the Apollo asteroid of 1862, which was discovered by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth in the 1930s.

Asteroids are made of metals like iron and nickel. Most of the asteroids are found in the asteroid belt located between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars. By studying asteroids, scientists gather information about the conditions present at the time of the formation of the planets and the solar system. NASA monitors the asteroids present in the solar system with the help of its various telescopes and issues alerts from time to time in view of the potential danger. According to the space agency, the size of this asteroid is about 50 feet wide and 111 feet long. An asteroid’s orbit is calculated by looking at its elliptical path to the Sun, which best fits various telescopes such as NASA’s NEOWISE telescope and its new Sentry II algorithm.
