The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) reported that asteroid 2023 GG will pass close to Earth on Tuesday, April 11th.
This was reported by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), as reported by Ukrinform.
According to NASA, the length of the celestial body is about 76 meters.
The distance from it to the Earth will be about 1.5 million km. The speed of the asteroid is recorded as 38,088 km per hour.
It’s worth noting that if an asteroid approaches Earth at a distance of less than 7.4 million km and its size is greater than 150 m, NASA considers it a “potentially dangerous object.” However, GG 2023 is not considered “potentially dangerous” as it does not meet both criteria at the same time.
As Ukrinform reported, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) reported that the 2018 UQ1 asteroid passed close to Earth on Friday, March 17.
