At the same time, scientists argue that there is nothing to fear, because the space rock should fly to Earth.

A large space rock is hurtling toward Earth. According to scientists, it will approach our planet in an ultra-close one week. The body is called the Christmas asteroid. The Daily Mail writes about it.

The European Space Agency ESA said that the size of the asteroid is 140 meters and according to NASA’s classification, it is considered potentially dangerous for our planet.

“The data on its trajectory show that it is flying at a tremendous speed of 21,000 km/h and this Thursday will approach the Earth at a distance of 680,000 km. According to space standards, it is very close, although it is almost twice the distance from our planet to the moon. If an asteroid of this size is closer than 7.5 million km from Earth, then it is considered potentially dangerous,” the statement said.

At the same time, NASA announced that on Wednesday, December 14, two more asteroids will approach Earth. They are smaller and do not threaten us either.

Recall that an international group of scientists previously discovered a large space object like Apollo, which had been hiding in the sunlight for a long time.
