NASA Identifies Risk of Asteroid Collision
NASA scientists have identified a potential risk of collision with an asteroid in 2046. The asteroid, which is estimated to be 460 feet in diameter, could cause significant damage if it were to collide with Earth. While the probability of impact is currently low, NASA is monitoring the asteroid closely and taking steps to mitigate any potential risks. The Risk and Potential Consequences The asteroid, known as 2009 JF1, is currently in an orbit that puts it on a potential collision course with Earth. If it were to collide with our planet, it could release energy equivalent to several thousand megatons of TNT. The resulting explosion could cause widespread damage…
