In the late 20th century, NASA launched the Neor-Earth Ject project, which aimed to detect the motion of celestial objects and find their orbits that could bring them closer to our planet. The space agency has so far identified approximately 25,000 NGOs.

Ladies and gentlemen, don’t be too comfortable, because 2020 hasn’t happened to us yet ગ્ર a planet as big as Big Ben will go to Earth next week, Daily constellation Report, citing NASA. According to the Space Agency, a spacecraft called 2020 TGI is moving towards our planet at a tremendous speed of 30,708 miles per second or about 50,000 kilometers per hour. NASA says asteroids can be anywhere between 43 and 100 meters and are the largest celestial body moving our planet.

2020 TGI belongs to the most dangerous category of asteroids – Apollo, which means its orbit intersects our planet. But NASA says it will pass our planet safely at a distance of 7,027,201 miles. In December, Earth will be visited by an unusual asteroid called 2020 SO, which has been classified as a “potentially dangerous” object. Paul Chodas, one of NASA’s leading experts, suggested that the celestial body could in fact be debris from a rocket sent to the moon by NASA in 1966.
