NASA Discovers Potentially Hazardous Asteroid on Collision Course with Earth |
NASA has issued a warning about a recently discovered asteroid, Asteroid 2025 XQ, which could potentially collide with Earth in the coming years. The space agency announced that the asteroid, measuring approximately 1.5 kilometers in diameter, has an unusual orbit that brings it dangerously close to Earth's path.
Astronomers and space scientists are closely monitoring the asteroid, using advanced telescopes and tracking systems to calculate its trajectory and assess the likelihood of impact. While the probability of a direct collision remains low, NASA has not ruled out the possibility of a more significant threat.
The discovery has prompted international discussions about planetary defense and the need for global cooperation in monitoring and mitigating potential asteroid hazards. Some experts believe that more research and proactive measures should be put in place to protect Earth from potential impacts, while others call for increased funding for space programs focused on detecting and deflecting space threats.
