An asteroid the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza is set to fly close to Earth on Sunday 25 July, in what can be described as relatively “close”, The Guardian reports. NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The size of the asteroid, dubbed 2008 GO20, has not been determined with certainty, but estimates place it between 97 and 220 meters, or 318 to 720 feet. For context, the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, considered a colossal architectural feat, is 138 meters, or 450 feet high. It can also be much larger than India’s famous Taj Mahal, which stands 73 meters, or 240 feet.
Because they fly close to Earth (about 2.8 million miles, or 4.5 million kilometers), the asteroid is considered a potential hazard. However, this is not a big risk, because the distance is actually about 20 times the distance between Earth and the Moon.
In fact, Earth Completely safe from the dangers of asteroids for the next centuryرنAccording to NASA. In fact, asteroids often fly quite close to the planet. On July 31, another asteroid, called 2019 YM6, will also approach the planet – this asteroid is larger than 2008’s GO20, although it will be farther away. However, there is still the potential for danger, as gravitational locomotives have the ability to change the direction of an object.-

And with such a large size and flying at a speed of about 18,000 miles per hour, or 29,000 kilometers per hour, an asteroid can certainly cause damage if it hits the planet.
The threat of an asteroid collision is still one of the worst possible natural disasters on the planet, as humanity has little to do with fighting it.
One method developed by NASA and the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory is Laboratorium Multiple Asteroid Diversion Test Mission (DART), which would see the spacecraft essentially “prick” the asteroid to rotate it, and adjust its trajectory slightly to change its trajectory.-
This project is planned to soon be tested on asteroids far from the planet. However, Airbus has proposed a faster solution, which would primarily be watching satellite TV. kidnapped and directed it to deflect the asteroid’s path – and the solution took only a few months to prepare and launch.-
In addition, NASA and other organizations continue to monitor the sky for any asteroids approaching the planet, including for personal use.asteroid hunterTelescope.-
