NASA warns about potentially hazardous 1.2 miles wide asteroid that could slam earth in December 2019

A huge asteroid measuring more than 1.2 miles in diameter could possibly hit the earth in December 2019, NASA has warned. The US space agency has predicted 31 potential dates between 2019 and 2101, and one such date is shockingly close for bringing a cataclysm on earth, i.e 28 December, 2019.
Another such date in which the asteroid is most likely to hit the earth is December 21, 2093. In the meantime, it will also make close approaches with earth between these two dates, in December 2022, December 2024 and December 2027.

NASA made these predictions by compiling data from 19 observations that were conducted between April 5, 2010 and April 9, 2010.

Experts at NASA revealed that this gigantic asteroid named 2010 GD 73 weighs 2.7 trillion kilograms, and an object with such a mammoth weight will result in dreaded outcomes if it slams into earth. 

Further, NASA also revealed that the impact would create a force of 260,000 Megatones. It should be notes that 1 Megatone is equal to 1,000 Kilograms of TNT. And the nuclear bomb dropped in Hiroshima had an impact force of 18 Megatones.

The news comes at a time when NASA is busy preparing its planetary defence weapon. In this mission, NASA plans to deflect an asteroid from its trajectory to prevent it from bringing a possible apocalyptic event on earth. 

Several other such reports have also been surfacing online stating that NASA may nuke potentially hazardous asteroids if they fail to deviate them from their orbits.
