Artwork of asteroid passing close to Earth
Asteroid approaching Earth. Illustration of an asteroid passing close to Earth. The asteroids (also called minor planets) are lumps of rock measuring 1-1000km wide. Over 4000 have been catalogued so far, but astronomers reckon the Solar System contains over 40, 000. Some asteroids follow an elliptical orbit, occasionally passing dangerously close to Earth. In 1989 a 300 metre wide asteroid came within 690, 000km of Earth. If a rock of this size hit the planet it could explode with the force of 100, 000 nuclear bombs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an awe-inspiring artwork depicting an asteroid passing perilously close to Earth. The illustration beautifully captures the intensity and magnitude of this celestial event. Asteroids, also known as minor planets, are massive chunks of rock ranging from 1 to 1000 kilometers in width. With over 4000 already catalogued by astronomers, it is believed that our Solar System harbors a staggering number exceeding 40,000 asteroids. Some of these space rocks follow elliptical orbits that occasionally bring them dangerously near our planet. In fact, history reminds us of a nerve-wracking encounter in 1989 when a colossal asteroid measuring 300 meters wide came within a mere distance of 690,000 kilometers from Earth's surface. To put its potential impact into perspective, scientists estimate that if such an enormous rock were to collide with our planet, the resulting explosion would unleash energy equivalent to the force generated by a staggering hundred thousand nuclear bombs. Through this mesmerizing artwork captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of both the beauty and inherent dangers present in our vast universe. It serves as a poignant reminder for humanity to continue exploring and understanding these cosmic wonders while working towards safeguarding our precious home amidst the infinite expanse of space.
