A complete of six asteroids will zoom previous Earth on January 6.
The first one is the 2021 AC, which already went previous our planet within the morning. It has a median diameter of 73.5 metres and moved at a pace of fifty,652 kmph. The second one is known as 2016 CO247, which has a median diameter of 340 metres. It went previous Earth quickly after the 2021 AC at a pace of 60,228 kmph. It was 7.4 million km away from our planet.
The smallest of the six asteroids, 2021 AJ which isn’t greater than 20 metres in diameter will go previous the planet within the night (5 PM IST approx). Almost two hours later, the 32-metre 2018 KP1 will observe which is may be 41 metres in diameter and will probably be 3.1 million km away from Earth at a pace of 15,948 kmph. 2021 AU will probably be simply 1.42 million kms away from Earth.
