On November 26, the Great Asteroid 2006 WB, which is comparable to the football field. According to the laboratory of NASA reactive motion, a space object, the length of which is 97.8 meters, will fly at a distance of 891 241 km from our planet. This asteroid is in the category of "potentially dangerous objects", but its trajectory does not threaten collision with the ground.
Although the 2006 WB asteroid will approach the ground less than 900,000 kilometers, it does not fall into the category of objects that can cause a serious threat. NASA determines "potentially dangerous" asteroids those that approach the distance of less than 7.5 million kilometers and have a size more than 150 meters. Because the 2006 WB size is less than this value, the risk to the planet is minimal.
NASA is currently tracking more than 37,000 asteroids to collect important information and be able to respond in a timely manner. Scientists are constantly analyzing the trajectories of such objects to identify potential dangers for the Earth and prepare appropriate measures.
