We have faced many reports detailing about the approaching space rocks making flybys from the Earth.
What is 2024 GA3?
Even though it was said that a huge space rock would fly by the Earth toward the end of the month, NASA had distinguished another close Earth object that would go through Earth’s circle on Monday, April 20. Space rock 2024 GA3 was assumed to be higher than the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy.
As indicated by CNEOS, 2024 GA3 was expected to cross Earth’s way on April 20 at 5:50 pm EDT. As the space rock zipped past Earth, it was about 0.02076 galactic units or around 1.9 million miles from the planet’s inside.
Will it return?
As viewed by NASA’s projection of the space rock’s circle, 2024 GA3 will not return to Earth’s neighbourhood until October 28, 2029. During the span of this time, the rock will move toward Earth from a lot more remote separation.
As indicated by the organization, in under ten years from now, the space rock will pass by Earth from a separation of 0.09900 galactic units or around 9.2 million miles.
The space rock was around 194 feet wide, and as per the evaluation by CNEOS, GA3 2024 moved towards the Earth at a very average speed of about 40,000 miles per hour.

What does NASA say?
2020 GA3 was characterized as an Apollo space rock. It follows a wide circle around the Sun.
The 2024 GA3 does not pose any threat to Earth. It missed us by about a distance as far as the Moon.
NASA said: “As they orbit the Sun, near-Earth objects (NEOs) can occasionally approach close to Earth. Note that a ‘close’ passage astronomically can be very far away in human terms: millions or even tens of millions of kilometres.”
