The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) reported that the asteroid 2023 GM will pass close to Earth on Monday, April 17.
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 107 meters, which is longer than a football field.
The distance from the asteroid to Earth would be about 3.24 million km. The speed of the asteroid is recorded as 72,324 km per hour.
It is worth noting that if the asteroid approaches Earth at a distance of less than 7.4 million km and its size is greater than 150 m, then NASA considers it a “potentially dangerous object.” However, the 2023 GM does not meet both criteria at the same time, so it is not considered “potentially dangerous”.
