The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced that asteroid 2019 KK5 will pass close to Earth on Wednesday, January 3.
This was reported by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Ukrinform reports.
According to NASA, the length of the celestial body is 94 m.
The distance from it to the Earth will be 4.07 million kilometers. The speed of the asteroid is 75,312 km/h.
If an asteroid approaches Earth at a distance of less than 7.4 million km and its size exceeds 150 m, NASA considers it a “potentially hazardous object.”
However, this asteroid 2019 KK5 does not fall within the scope of both parameters at the same time.
As Ukrinform reported, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) reported that asteroid 2023 VD6 passed near the Earth on Saturday, December 23.
