A potentially dangerous asteroid will pass near Earth tomorrow
The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced that asteroid 2024 BR4 will pass close to Earth on Wednesday, February 14.

This was reported by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Ukrinform reports.

According to NASA, the length of the celestial body is 171 m.

The distance from it to the Earth will be 4.6 million kilometers. The speed of the asteroid is 44,892 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.”

It is stated that the 2024 BR4 asteroid falls under two parameters at the same time.

As Ukrinform reported, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) reported that asteroid 2023 SP1 passed near the Earth on Wednesday, February 7.
