Earth escaped the Meteorite threat unscathed

An official statement from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was released in response to the meteorite that hit with our planet Earth. In accordance with reports, the meteorite, which is travelling at a speed of 50 miles per hour, will pass within 1,804,450 miles of the planet. Because of the vastness of the universe, the distance in issue is considered to be 'close.'

Earth has successfully avoided the threat of a meteorite once more.

An estimated tangent pass by our planet of a meteorite larger than the iconic Big Ben of London, the United Kingdom's capital, took place just moments ago, according to sources.

According to the notification, the object in issue was at its closest point to our planet at approximately 13.30 CEST.

In accordance with reports, the meteorite, which is travelling at a speed of 50 miles per hour, will pass within 1,804,450 miles of the planet. Because of the vastness of the universe, the distance in issue is considered to be 'close.'

However, 2021RL3 isn't the only meteorite that could pose a threat to our planet in the future. Many experts fear that the Earth is ill-prepared for an attack from beyond the solar system.

Various emergency methods and techniques for preventing an asteroid from colliding with the Earth have been investigated by experts in the event that such a collision occurs.

The potential asteroid impact scenario was dubbed the '2021 PDC' by the scientific team who came up with the name. Assuming this scenario is correct, the asteroid, which is 56 million kilometres from Earth, will strike the planet within six months of its discovery.

Scientists agreed that in this scenario, the asteroid would cause a massive nuclear explosion that would have catastrophic consequences.

The researchers asserted that the only solution is to remain in the collision zone as long as possible, claiming that we are powerless to prevent such a calamity with the technologies we currently possess.

A vast number of people are forced to escape their homes or nations, resulting in the world's worst refugee crisis in recorded history.
