Asteroid will pass 5 times less than the moon in September

The asteroid 2011 ES4, with a diameter of between 22 and 49 meters, will approach Earth on September 1, according to the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

The object is estimated to pass in front of our planet at a speed of more than 29,000 kilometers per hour and at a distance of only 71,800 kilometers.

In comparison, the Moon is located about 384,400 kilometers from Earth.

The asteroid is part of the Apollo group and has a very wide orbit around Earth and the Sun, with a flight path that intersects Earth’s orbit.

Despite its close step, the Asteroid 2011 ES4 does not pose a threat, since its diameter is too small.

Some see “apocalyptic signs”

As always, NASA sends a reassuring message when these space rocks are “approached”, however, we could find a completely different scenario.

Some believe that the end of the world will come on September 1 with the possible impact of an asteroid.

This Apocalypse would have been announced this year, with various signs appearing in the heavens:

The first would be the arrival of the comet NEOWISE, which is currently fascinating stargazers across the planet.

Comet C / 2020 F3 NEOWISE was discovered on March 27 and currently crosses our skies leaving us incredible views.

It will reach its closest point to Earth on July 23, passing our planet at a distance of around 103 million kilometers.

But apparently NEOWISE is not the only “apocalyptic signal.” Another would be the eclipse of the Ring of Fire that was observed in parts of Africa, Asia, and Arabia on June 21.

Ultimately, these signs would converge when the 2011 ES4 asteroid passes to Earth on September 1.

Although space agencies have revealed that the space rock is not a threat for our planet, some believe that since in 2020 everything is possible, we could be living the Apocalypse. What do you think?
