Asteroid, which measures 180-feet in size, will be making its closest approach to Earth on July 21
- Nasa has issued an alert against asteroid 2024 MG1 - which belongs to a class of asteroids known as the Apollo group which have their Earth-crossing orbits - and has been hurtling towards our planet at a scary speed of 33,600 km per hour.
Apollo asteroids are a group of near-Earth asteroids and their orbits intersect the orbit of Earth. The group was given a name after the scientists discovered the first asteroid of this group called 1862 Apollo. According to scientists, if an asteroid like 2024 MG1 collides with Earth, there will be various consequences depending on its size, speed, and composition.
Space agencies and scientists keep monitoring such asteroids to timely predict their movements and take the required action.
