National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA, for its acronym in English) has defined as “potentially dangerous” to asteroid 2009 JF1, as it could impact the Earth on March 6, 2022 at 08:34 hours, as reported by the space agency, although it also estimates that the probability of impact is 1 in 3,800 (0.026%).
The date set for the collision has been specified after the exhaustive observation of the asteroid through a collision monitoring system of the US space agency that classifies objects near the planet according to their size, speed, dimensions and year in which they are believe the impact will occur.
Its impact against the Earth could cause an explosion equivalent to 230 kilotons of dynamite. You have to calculate that the Hiroshima bomb had only 15 kilotons of power (Shutterstock)
Asteroid 2009 JF1 is currently 375,587,595 km from the planet, approaching 18 km towards us every second. It flies past Earth at an incredible speed, at 65,293 kilometers per hour. The Space Agency viewed it through Sentry in 2009, estimating it to be around 13 meters in diameter.
Although the probability of collision is very low, smaller rocks that usually accompany the space body can enter our atmosphere, burn in it as they descend to the ground, creating meteors and meteorites that we often see as showers of stars in the night sky.

Hmmm, news to God- guess He’ll have to readjust his time schedule-
Maybe there is one they haven’t seen that will hit DC on the 20th...........
So after 2021 your telling me theres still hope?
I got your asteroid insurance right here folks. Don’t crowd, plenty for everyone.
Mecca? Bejing? Delhi? Calcutta? Mubai?
Ha! But it’ll be Biden’s fault...
2021 is starting to make me long for good ol’ 2020.
And it looks like 2022 will make us long for 2021.
