This asteroid discovered by NASA is larger than the Mount Everest, and an impact could cause massive devastation on a global scale
NASA has discovered a dangerous asteroid that could wipe out half the life on earth by 2027, based on initial analysis carried out by experts at the US space agency. It was revealed that the killer asteroid is larger than the Mount Everest, and is currently traveling at a speed of more than 52,000 miles per hour.
NASA’s asteroid-tracking unit has named this rogue space body 4953 (1990 MU), and they claimed that this menace from deep space has a diameter of about six miles. If calculations are right, this giant space body will fly past Earth on numerous occasions within the next couple of years, and it will make its closest approach on June 6, 2027. On this day, this asteroid will come as close as 2.9 million miles away, and this distance is very small in astronomical terms.
