3,000 Feet Diameter Asteroid 2001
Astronomers offer a unique opportunity to request an in-depth study of a rocky relic that formed early in our planetary system. The largest asteroid, expected to be closest to our planet on March 21, 2021, will be closest to the moon. Home of the moon in the world. at a distance of 2 million kilometers or 5 1/4 times.
There is no danger of hitting the planet now or for hundreds of years. Paul Chodas previously stated that the FO32 orbital path around the Sun has been incredibly accurate since its discovery 20 years ago in 2001 and has been tracked ever since, director of the Near Earth Research Center (CNEOS), owned by the Southern NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. California. Come closer to the earth. Distance attracts astronomical deadlines. For this reason, FO32 was selected as an undoubtedly dangerous asteroid in 2001.
Largest Asteroid pass by Earth on March 21
CNEOS calculates very accurate Near-Earth Object (NEO) orbits to aid NASA’s Coordi National Bureau on Planetary Defense – telescopes and ground-based radio monitoring and range to accurately characterize the orbit of each NEO and expedite future risk assessments. During this approach, FO32 will travel at approximately 124,000 km / h in 2001. The explanation for the asteroid’s remarkable approach speed is its extremely inclined and elongated (or eccentric) orbit around the sun with an inclined orbit of 39 degrees.
This orbit brings the asteroid closer to the sun of Mercury and twice the size of the sun of Mars. As the 2001 FO32 finds its way through the internal system, the asteroid accelerates the skater’s speed as he passes the half pipe. then slows down when rejected. towards the region and towards the sun. Tours every 810 days. for several 1/4 years.
After a temporary visit, FO32 can continue its lonely journey in 2001 and will not return to this earth until 2052, when there will be approximately seven lunar distances, or 1.75 million miles The last particularly massive approach to the asteroid was OR2 on April 29, 2020 in 1998. Although FO32 2001 is slightly smaller than OR2 from 1998, it will be three times closer to Earth. None of them can affect our planet in the next century.
The March 21 meeting could give astronomers an opportunity to ask for a deeper understanding of reality. The size of the asteroid. glossy or reflective and an approximate drawing of its composition.
