Stadium-sized asteroid near Earth; Collision results in catastrophe: NASA with warning

Washington: NASA scientists say a stadium-sized asteroid will orbit closer to Earth this week. The asteroid is named 2020 XU6. They travel at a speed of 8.4 km per second. If such an asteroid hits the earth, the result will be catastrophe. But NASA assured that there is nothing to fear.

The report was released by the U.S. Space Agency, which monitors Earth-threatening asteroids. The 213-meter-diameter stadium-sized asteroid 2020 XU is expected to pass close to Earth on March 2.

According to their report, several giant space objects will approach Earth this week. But scientists say none of these have the potential to endanger the Earth in any way.
