Pasadena, California: NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has said that several space rocks, or meteorites, will pass by Earth in early April, most notably FZ3 2023, which is about 150 feet in size.
On April 6, FZ-3 will fly by at a speed of 67,656 kilometers per hour at a distance of 4.2 million kilometers from the Earth, which is not a huge distance in cosmic terms. On the other hand, NASA experts have also warned of more meteors. Including many small and big heavenly stones.
Among them, FZ3 2003 is the largest, which is similar to an airplane in area. This stone passing by the earth on April 6 does not pose any danger to us. Experts have created a database of more than 30,000 small and large meteorites, of which 850 are larger than one kilometer and are orbiting the Earth. However, no meteorite will hit the earth in the next 100 years.
