The Four Asteroids - 4
March 26, 2020


If it's concerned about any of the four asteroids impacting earth,
Nothing to be worry,
None of the four asteroids is going to come
Anywhere close to the earth's surface,

The nearest anyone is coming to earth
Is at a distance of 7.13 lakh kilometre away
For reference, when it's at its closest to earth,
The moon is just over 3.6 lakh kilometre away,

Which places the nearest
Of the four asteroids almost twice
That distance away at 7.13 lakh kilometre
So, the earth is not going to be the victim of it,

Even last year, the European Space Agency
Initially gave a 1-in-7000 chance of an approaching asteroid
Impacting earth in September 2019
Which they later said would miss,

It indeed missed the earth completely
Almost the entire world won't even know
The passage of these current four asteroids, apart from amateur
And professional astronomers keeping track.
