Scientists warn 'city-destroying' asteroid is hurtling towards Earth
A newly discovered asteroid, dubbed a "city-destroying" asteroid, is making its way toward Earth, and scientists are raising alarms.
The massive space rock, which is estimated to be around 1 kilometer in diameter, could cause catastrophic damage if it collides with our planet.
Experts have noted that while the asteroid is not expected to hit Earth in the near future, its trajectory is one that requires close monitoring.
The asteroid's impact could release energy equivalent to millions of nuclear bombs, potentially wiping out cities and disrupting the global climate.
NASA and other space agencies have started tracking its path using advanced telescopes and orbital calculations.
Although the chances of an impact remain extremely low, scientists are taking no chances, preparing to develop deflection techniques if necessary.
The discovery serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities Earth faces from space threats. Experts are urging for continued investment in planetary defense technologies to safeguard against future asteroid collisions.
