Okay okay okay!!! So you want to know what is the Asteroid, what it will do? Will it affect the earth? Or it will pass out with keeping a long-distance? So for you, I make this blog post after reading I am sure that you will understand what is it and what will it do…….after reading if any questions occur simply ask me in below comment section

Did you listen? The buzz about a big asteroid that’ll pass relatively close to Earth in April? Asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2 will pass at a safe distance, at some 4 million miles (6 million km), or about 16 times the Earth-moon distance. It’s big – the biggest asteroid due to fly by Earth this year – and will come closest to Earth on April 29, 2020. Astronomers at Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico plan to study it from April 8 to 24, as it travels through space at 19,461 miles per hour (31,320 km/h).
WHEN:
The closest approach will be April 29 around 11:26 a.m. {IST}. Professional observatories have been pointing their telescopes at the huge space rock already.
FUTURE CASES:
There will be closer approaches of asteroids in the future, including Apophis, which – although smaller – will pass very close to Earth in 2029. Another, the larger space rock – 2 miles (3 km) wide – designated as asteroid (415029) 2011 UL21 will pass slightly farther than (52768) 1998 OR2 in June 2024.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentially_hazardous_object
But the upcoming flyby in April 2020 of the asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2 is the most significant-close approach of an asteroid until 2027, as another huge asteroid known as (4953) 1990 MU will safely pass by Earth at 12 lunar distances.
What is the fact actually?
Ø  The warning by NASA that talks about an asteroid hitting the Earth on April 29, 2020.
Ø  There are the viral message that state that a huge section of humans will be wiped out from around the globe. 
Ø Some messages also state that the Earth will be partially hit and that will put everyone’s life in danger.
WHERE THE NEWS CAME FROM:
Ø  Many Facebook users started sharing a video by Headlines India and captioned it saying that the world is going to end on April 29.
Ø  Many WhatsApp users forwarding the same news in different terms and with mixing their thought in that. 
Ø  Few online portals had also misinterpreted the official NASA news leading to a state of panic amongst people reading
Ø  Astronomers first discovered asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2 on July 24, 1998, from Haleakala OBSERVATORY

SIZE OF THE ASTEROID:
Asteroid 2020 GH2 is about between 43 and 70 feet (13-70 meters) wide, or about the size of a detached house, according to data from the Centre for Near-Earth Object Studies at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. It was first discovered on Saturday (April 11) and is being tracked by astronomers at several observatories, including the Catalina Sky Survey at Mount Lemmon in Arizona.
 KELLY used a tennis ball as the moon and a basketball as the Earth, placing them 25 feet (7 meters) apart in a hallway — the scale distance between the Earth and moon. At that scale, a huge asteroid like the one that doomed the dinosaurs would be the size of a grain of salt, fast said. This space rock is probably at least a mile wide (1.8 km) and maybe 2 1/2 times that long (4.1 km).
WHY THERE IS NO MATTER TO FRIGHTENED:
 Let me make it absolutely clear that there’s no chance of a collision between this asteroid and Earth. It’s true the object is classified as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid. The Centre for Near-Earth Objects defines such an object as one that comes as close to Earth as:
The Asteroid is passing at a safe distance of 3.9 million miles (6.2 million km). Scientists with NASA's Planetary Defence Program and around the world regularly observe the skies for new and known asteroids that might pose a danger to Earth. 
An asteroid about 500 feet (140 m) or larger with an orbit that brings it within 4.7 million miles (7.5 million km) of Earth is classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid, NASA officials have said. As of 2019, scientists have discovered about 19,000 near-Earth asteroids, with about 30 newfound asteroids added each week. 
“potentially hazardous" asteroid is poised to fly by Earth on 29th, but don't worry — it poses no threat to Earth.
At its closest approach, which will happen at about 5:56 a.m. EDT (0956 GMT), asteroid 1998 OR2 will be 3.9 million miles (6.3 million km) from Earth. That's more than 16 times the average distance between Earth and the moon.
According to NASA, ‘an asteroid qualifies as "potentially hazardous’ if its orbit ever intersects Earth's orbit at a distance less than 4.6 million miles (7.5 million km), or 0.05 astronomical units, the average distance between Earth and the sun.”
None of the 22 Potentially Hazardous Asteroids listed by Wikipedia is known to be on a collision course with Earth in the foreseeable future. Likewise, asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2 isn’t on a collision course with Earth, not anytime soon. The orbit of this asteroid is well known for at least the next 200 years. Its closest approach to Earth in this century and the next will happen in 2079, when it’ll swoop to within about a million miles of Earth (still about four times farther away than the moon).
A newly discovered an asteroid about the size of a house will zip safely by Earth on Wednesday (April 15), passing just inside the orbit of the moon. 
The asteroid 2020 GH2 will pass Earth at a range of about 223,000 miles (359,000 kilometers). The average distance from the Earth to the moon is about 239,000 miles (385,000 km). 
That 2079 sweep past Earth will still be a big deal. Asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2 is the largest known of all

TECHNICAL CLASSIFICATION:
Asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2 will make a close approach to Earth on April 29. The hefty space rock has an estimated diameter of 1.1 to 2.5 miles (1.8 to 4.1 kilometers), or about the width of the isle of Manhattan.

The Texas-based private aerospace firm Firefly Aerospace is going to collaborate with Spaceflight Inc. on a rideshare mission on the Alpha small launch vehicle of Firefly as per an agreement announced on 22nd April. Spaceflight is going to provide most of the payloads for this vehicle. This vehicle is supposed to launch in 2021 or late this year from Vandenberg Airforce Base in California. This alpha rocket is able to place the 630kg satellite in the sun-synchronous orbit. As per the agreement signed, Spaceflight will continue to supply payloads for future missions by Firefly. Firefly founder and chief executive said, "We expect a long-term relationship with Spaceflight. We consider them the preeminent aggregator of satellites in our payload class". Firefly is going to work with other payload aggregators too. Firms like 'Innovative Solutions in Space' (Denmark) are going to have collaborated with Firefly in the near future. These collaborations will result in c

Indian firm to invest $6 billion in solar power as a country targets lofty renewable energy goals India's Adani inexperienced Energy restricted (AGEL) has won a significant contract which can see the firm develop eight gigawatts (GW) of alternative energy over consequent few years, as authorities within the country look to build capacity to fulfill formidable renewable energy targets. Announced on a weekday, the $6 billion producing-linked agreement between AGEL and therefore the alternative energy Corporation of Asian nation (SECI) can see AGEL got wind of two GW of what it delineated  as "solar cell and module manufacturing capability."   Under the agreement, AGEL, which is an element of the larger Adani cluster, can develop two GW of star capability by the year 2022, with the opposite half-dozen GW returning on-line in two GW chunks. These come can embrace a large-scale "single-site generation project" of two GW. In terms of the producing fac

  D O YOU KNOW WHAT IS METEOR? HOW CAN YOU WATCH IT? OR WHERE YOU CAN WATCH IT? WHAT SHOULD YOU CARRY WITH YOU TO WATCH IT? TODAY, I AM GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE AQUARID METEOR SHOWER WHICH TOOK PLACED IN MAY 6 TH ! AS WELL, I WILL ANSWER THE QUERY I HAVE MENTIONED ABOVE! First of all, what is a meteor? A  meteor  is a  meteoroid  – or a particle broke off an asteroid or comet orbiting the Sun – that burns up as it enters the Earth's atmosphere, creating the effect of a "shooting star". Meteoroids that reach the Earth's surface without disintegrating  are  called  meteorites Then, how can you watch it? Fire up the Interactive Meteor Shower Sky Map on your mobile device to find out where to look in the sky for the radiant. Don't have a cellular signal? Don't despair. Just print out the table on the meteor shower page beforehand and bring it with you. Plan your trip such that you give yourself about 15-30 minutes to set up and let your eyes ad
