Phew, at least this asteroid is not going to hit us also !!!
NASA made a public -and comfot- statement saying that 2001 FO32 [codename for the asteroid] is not a threat for mankind. It will pass by a safe distance on 21st of March and there is no risk of hitting Earth.
This huge piece of space rock discovered in 2001, so NASA has gothered a lot of information about its existence for quite some time.
You may have seen headlines about an #asteroid that will safely fly by Earth on March 21. While this asteroid, known as 2001 FO32, is large, it will safely zip past Earth at a distance of 1.3 million miles—five times further away than the Moon—and poses no risk of hitting Earth. pic.twitter.com/oZZG5UaFsf
