NASA Reveals Images Of 4km Wide Asteroid That Would Destroy Earth Recent evidence proves that the asteroid that is approaching the earth is half as wide as Mount Everest tall and will reach near to the Earth by next month. This view of sample site Osprey on asteroid Bennu is a mosaic of images collected by NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft on May 26. During these increasingly close approaches, NASA’s spacecraft is capturing a wealth of images of its sampling site. A radar image of the asteroid 1998 OR-2, which is 1.3 miles wide, and scheduled to fly past Earth on April 29, 2020, seems to show it wearing a coronavirus mask.

This mosaic image composed of 12 PolyCam images collected on Dec. 2, 2018, and provided by NASA shows the asteroid Bennu. (CNN) An asteroid … The giant space rock—known as (52768) 1998 OR2—is the biggest asteroid to make a close approach to Earth in 2020, according to NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS.) The Mars 2020 rover undergoes processing inside the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Feb. 14, 2020. A total of 2,155 PolyCam images were stitched together and corrected to produce the mosaic. The asteroid, officially designated 2020 HP6, reached its closest distance to Earth today (April 27) at about 3.40pm BST (2.40pm UTC).According to NASA, the asteroid …

So 2020 LD is not quite considered a PHA, strictly speaking, but it’s much larger than the asteroid that exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, in 2013. But the asteroid… A total of 347 PolyCam images … Astronomers with reasonably sized telescopes are already capturing images of asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2. Updated 3:37 AM ET, Wed April 29, 2020 This Doppler radar image of asteroid 1998 OR2 makes it appear as though the asteroid is wearing a face mask. The four asteroids in question have been named by CNEOS as 2020 FK, 2020 FS, 2020 DP4 and 2020 FF1.
