NASA warns of multiple asteroids approaching Earth at high speeds.
NASA has observed a 590-foot asteroid named 2023 LV1, which will come close to Earth on June 17 at a distance of 3.5 million miles, travelling at a speed of 59,465 kmph. The asteroid falls under the category of a "potentially hazardous object" and even a slight alteration in its trajectory caused by the gravitational pull of a planet could redirect it towards our planet, resulting in a catastrophic impact. NASA uses various technologies, such as telescopes and satellites, to monitor these asteroids and maintain a catalogue of near-Earth objects that are expected to have close encounters with our planet, allowing for the early detection of any potential hazards.
