An asteroid that missed the Earth by some 90, 000 kilometers was very real, It was not the object
can was mentioned in the book of Revelation that was called bitterness as it caused
the seas to become bitter.
Asteroid 2026JH2 will zoom past Earth at a distance of only 90,000 kilometers next week.
It has enough mass to wipe out a city, but simulations suggest there is no
chance of an impact for at least the next century.
An asteroid
with the potential to ruin a city will pass Earth next week. 2026JH2, as it has been labelled by the astronomy
community, is predicted to zoom by our planet at an estimated distance of
90,917 kilometers – only a quarter of the distance between us and the moon.
“In
astronomical terms, it’s as close as you can get without hitting,” says Mark Norris at the University of Lancashire, UK.
