Asteroid The Size Of The Empire State Building Will Skim Past Earth Today by RoyalBlak007: 8:03am On Mar 07, 2018 |
A monster asteroid the size of the Empire State Building is set to fly past Earth tomorrow at a dizzying speed of 14,092 miles per hour. The asteroid, dubbed 2017 VR12, is expected to pass within 900,000 miles of Earth around 7:53am (EST) on Wednesday. With a diameter between 700ft and 1,500ft, VR12 could be bigger than New York City 's Empire State Building, which is 1,450ft tall. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5470037/Hazardous-monster-asteroid-fly-past-earth-Wednesday-night.html lalasticlala 1 Like

VR12's close encounter to Earth has earned it the designation of a 'potentially hazardous asteroid' by NASA. The space agency describes asteroids as 'hazardous' if they come within 4,600,000 miles of our planet. Late Wednesday evening, VR12 will fly past earth at a distance of 897,000 miles. That's three times distance between our planet and the moon.

However, NASA cautioned that there's no possibility that 2017 VR12 will collide with Earth. In fact, the agency believes the asteroid could be a perfect target for future aerospace studies.

The VR12 asteroid has a diameter that's between 700ft and 1,500ft. That makes VR12 bigger than New York City's Empire State Building (pictured), which is 1,450ft tall. 1 Like
