New Delhi:

Recently, many deadly asteroids including 2019 OK, 2019 OD, 2015 HM10, 2019 OE, 2019 NN3, 2019 MB4, 2019 MT2, 2006 QV89, 2016 NO56M, RF12 and others approached towards the Earth, fortunately did not hit our planet. It is said that one day all life on the Earth will be extinct. Not only life, but the Earth will also extinct someday and an asteroid could be the possible reason. Shocked to hear that? It is to be noted that at least ten gigantic asteroids will approach dangerously towards Earth this year, reported businessinsider.in. Need not worry as these giant space rocks will zoom past the Earth and we are fully safe. It is worth mentioning here that asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun. The space rocks (asteroids) approach towards the Earth due to the gravitational forces that affect them. Asteroids can bring tsunamis, shock waves and flattening winds that could be catastrophic.

The ten gigantic asteroids which will approach towards Earth are named as 2018 PN22, 2000 CH59, 2006 WH1, 2006 SF6, 2015 JD1, 1998 HL1, 1998 FF14, 2000 QW7, 2010 CO1 and 2019 GT 3.
