Asteroid that may be the size of Empire State Building to zoom past Earth

naijawapload



NASA is monitoring an asteroid that may be as large as the Empire State Building, expected to pass Earth on Saturday, June 6.


Asteroid 2002 NN4 is estimated to be 250-570 meters (820-1,870 feet) in diameter, according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). New York City's iconic Empire State Building is more than 1,400 feet tall at its tip.

The asteroid may seem daunting, but it will pass Earth at a safe distance, a representative for JPL told CBS News.


Information about the asteroid is listed on NASA's Center for Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) website, which monitors close approaches to Earth. Several other objects are expected to fly through space near Earth this week, according to the data.


NASA has built a widget so star gazers can keep track of asteroids that may appear in the night sky. The widget keeps track of any Earth approaches within 4.6 million miles of the planet. The tool also uses common Earth objects to compare asteroids' sizes. Some asteroids are as big as houses, others planes, and some are as large as stadiums, the widget shows.

US 2020: China Interfering Against Trump, Russia Against Biden

worldnews The United States National Counterintelligence and Security Centre has alleged that China, Russia and Iran were interfering in the 2020 electoral process. Director of the centre, Willian Evavina, said in a statement that the findings were part of a report on foreign election interference released on Friday. Mr Evavina alleged that while China was working against the re-election bid of President Donald Trump, Russia was targeting the Democratic Party’s candidate and former Vice President, Mr Joe Biden. He did not specify Iran’s target or preference, but noted that Russia and Iran were engaged in disinformation campaigns.
