Asteroid nearly hits Earth in Siberia
It was noted that the asteroid approached the planet with a speed of about 14 kilometers per second, and at the moment of the fireball, an incredibly bright flash was observed from a great distance.
Victims were heard to refer to it as a “bright fireball”, and according to them, the event left a trail of smoke and debris.
The asteroid, which, according to reports, landed near the local town of Khakassia, was heard with a loud explosion and also slight shaking on the ground.
Luckily, there were no injuries, and properties were affected by the impact, as local officials stated. There are also no records of major losses.
Researchers have ascertained that the asteroid was a small object full of rocks that came from outer space. The size and composition of the asteroid that hit the surface of Yuraton-2 remain unknown, but specialists believe that it was a several-meter-long object.
The case reminds us of the possibilities of asteroid impacts and conceivable dangers. The existence of such objects poses a threat to the planet.
Though such cases are less usual, they cause severe or even catastrophic aftermaths, and researchers keep watching the sky for any danger.
This Siberian asteroid event has been a subject of considerable discussion and enthusiasm among astronomy enthusiasts and scientists.
Therefore, with more research carried out around the event, the other relevant aspects, such as the origin, composition, and consequence of the asteroid, are still likely to be revealed.
