On May 6, asteroid 2009 JF1 will approach the Earth.


According to NASA experts, asteroid 2009 JF1 will fly by the Earth at a minimum distance tomorrow.

Scientists said that if a celestial body collides with our planet, the force of the explosion will reach 230 kilotons in TNT equivalent, which is ten times more than in the explosion in Hiroshima in 1945.

However, the probability of a collision is negligible and is 1:140,000. NASA said that the size of the asteroid is 10 meters, so the inhabitants of the planet have nothing to fear.
