Asteroid 2024 XA stems in just 1,355 km past the earth!

On Sunday, December 1, 2024, the Asteroid 2024 XA raced past the earth with an alarming distance of only 1,355 kilometers. Experts reported that the Asteroid, which was visible in Austria above the Gesäus, has been one of the nearest acquaintances on earth since 1900. In the event of such a flight, the comparison to the lunar removal is revealing, since 0.02 LD (Lunar distance) is not an immediate risk for relaxed scientists anyway. Nevertheless, the impressive object, the diameter of which varies between 1.3 and 2.8 meters, will plan his next visit in June 2025 - and until then remains a topic for scientific discussions, such as Br.de reported .

The findings from this seven -year mission could not only revolutionize research on the earth -close asteroids, but also promote understanding of the creation of our solar system. While Bennu could possibly get risky in 150 years, the focus is now on the analysis of the collected samples to decipher the secrets of the universe.
