An asteroid that was first discovered in 2007 and has not been seen since then has come to the fore again. According to scientists, the meteorite called 2007 FT3 can pose a great danger. According to scientists, the 2007 FT3 asteroid is on its way back to Earth. Here are the details!
If the meteorite hits the Earth, it will explode with the force of 2.6 billion tons of TNT!
The meteorite named 2007 FT3, which was first discovered in 2007, has not been seen again since then. The meteorite, which disappeared a day after its discovery, started to come to the fore again. According to scientists, the meteorite in question is coming towards Earth.
NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) has been trying to determine where the asteroid will go from the moment it disappears. As a result of these studies, NASA experts think that the asteroid may hit the Earth next year.
It could not be determined exactly which direction the asteroid in question was in. For this reason, the collision that experts say is only a possibility. However, the probability of the asteroid hitting the Earth in October 2024 was determined to be approximately 1 in 11.5 million.
If the missing asteroid hits the Earth, it will explode with the force of 2.6 billion tons of TNT. This impact isn’t enough to destroy a planet. However, it has the power to cause great damage and send shock waves across the planet.
This kind of statement is very scary, but there have been such statements before. There are more than 30 thousand asteroids discovered near the Earth. These meteors are currently continuing to be observed. However, NASA and other institutions think there are undiscovered asteroids and comets hiding in the Sun’s light.
