Car, bus, plane, building-sized asteroids to zoom past Earth by Jan 11

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory shared that the five asteroids will be relatively close to the Earth between January 2 and 11.

NASA’s asteroid observation dashboard for tracking celestial bodies shared the asteroids that passed on January 2-21 YK is about 36 feet in diameter, equivalent to the size of a bus, and is only 1,18,000 miles from Earth. No. 5, an asteroid 2021 YQ, about 220 feet in diameter, will pass 1.3 million miles away from the Earth. Another 24-foot diameter, bus-sized asteroid named 2014 YE15 will pass 4.6 million miles from Earth.

A 13-foot-diameter asteroid 2020 API will pass approximately 1.08 million miles from the Earth on January 7, and a huge 340-foot (building-sized) celestial body 2013 YD48 will fly past the Earth on January 11. 3.4 million miles.

However, considering that the average distance between the Earth and the moon itself is approximately 239,000 miles (385,000 kilometers), these asteroids have not been recognized by NASA as potentially dangerous objects.

Nasa’s old map of Jupiter, which reminds many of dosa, has gone viral once more

Certain images or videos frequently resurface on the Internet, leaving people speechless. When those clips or pictures are shared again on one social media platform or another, they create a buzz. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) created and posted this image of a map of Jupiter online a few years ago. After being shared on Twitter, the image drew a lot of attention this time. And, as usual, the image made people think of dosa, a popular South Indian dish.

The image was shared by the Twitter account Latest in Space. “From the very bottom of Jupiter, I’m looking up. While tweeting the image, they wrote, “Seen by NASA Cassini.” The images from the Cassini spacecraft’s narrow-angle camera were used to create this out-of-this-world image, which is part of a coloured map series produced by the space agency.

The article was published a few days ago. The tweet has received nearly 20,000 likes since it was shared, and the number is growing. The tweet has been retweeted more than 2,000 times. Take a look at some of the comments to see how the image of Jupiter looks like dosa.

A Twitter user commented, “Looks like a designer dosa.” “When I rush to pick up a call, this is what happens to my dosa on the dosa pan,” one joked. “This is how my mother makes Dosa,” a third said. “Jupiter in the making,” wrote a fourth, along with a photo of someone preparing – you guessed it – dosa.
