It will fly past our planet in March.
Astronomer Gianluca Masi Using a 17-inch PlaneWave robotic telescope, he took an image of a large asteroid flying towards the earth. A space rock called 2001 CB21, according to NASA classification, is potentially dangerous and will be at a close distance from our planet.
Asteroid 2001 CB21, according to NASA, has approximately 1.3 km. On March 4, 2022, it will fly relatively close to our planet.
The American space agency calls it potentially dangerous, and its approach to the Earth represents a fairly close distance by space standards.
Asteroid 138971 ( 2001 CB21) will still pass by our planet, but should not collide with it. After all, despite the high flight speed, which is 43 thousand km/h, it will be near the Earth in early March at a distance of 4.8 million km.
