An asteroid the size of a blue whale or 4 buses passing through the Earth’s ocean with a speed of 20,000 miles per hour, this is what was announced by the American space agency NASA, which prompted some to question the details of this asteroid and how dangerous it is on the planet, and the professor of astronomy and space was keen to reveal details such as these astronomical phenomena.
Technology has been able to detect these objects
Dr. Osama Shalabia, Dr. Professor of Astronomy and Space Physics, commented on the passage of this asteroid and its approach to the ocean EarthHe said that this news shows the importance of astronomy and space sciences, and that modern technology has been able to monitor such objects.
Shalabia added that near-Earth objects are being monitored by space agencies around the world, and the “Space Guard” network has been formed to deal with all these objects, during his meeting with the “From Egypt” program, broadcast on CBC, and presented by the media Amr Khalil. ,
He explained that asteroids are not planets and not moons belonging to these planets, but rather asteroids that come from comets, and when they collide with the Earth at this speed with the Earth’s atmosphere, great friction occurs, and the asteroid burns and breaks up into small bodies, and this is the divine protection for life on planet Earth through the presence of the atmosphere, Without it, the Earth would be like the surface of the moon, all craters resulting from the collision of space objects.
Divine protection save the earth
He stressed that there is no fear of this passing asteroid In the Earth’s ocean, because many asteroids passed on Earth previously and will pass later, due to the presence of the atmosphere, and two-thirds of what asteroids fall on Earth are water, which reduces the possibility of causing injury on Earth.
He pointed out that most of the lands on the planet are forests or deserts, and therefore the populated area is almost few, so the risks from the fall of these objects are less, although they fall into the seas, tsunami or fires may occur when they fall in the desert, but in the end. Do not fear these objects that come close to the Earth. one thousand
