It is called 2011 UL 21 and its closest approach to the earth will be on June 27, although it is very large, its distance from the earth is very large and safe, and it will approach less than 6,600,000 km from our planet, its diameter is 1 .7 to 3.9 km, it is speculated that it is elongated in shape and travels at a speed of about 93,000 km per hour. At that speed we could go from Spain to the USA in less than 4 minutes.

The asteroid 2011 UL 21 is the size of an enormous mountain, with that size and speed its impact on Earth would cause a continental-level disaster, devastating hundreds of thousands of square kilometers and altering the planet's climate for years, but that will not happen or at least it will not happen in the next 100 years and maybe something more.

When it was discovered in 2011, there was a small possibility of impact in the year 2029, it was 1 in 1 million, but as more observations were made and the calculation of the trajectory was improved, the possibility of impact was reduced to 1 in 71 million and the November 4, 2011, when there was much more data, this asteroid was removed from the centry risk table, since any possibility of impact for the next 100 years and more is ruled out.

Although in the long term it is something that cannot be ruled out, which is why it is good that the Earth has an effective planetary defense system, because the risk of an asteroid impact with our planet is real, it occurred in the past and will occur in the future.

In the end, this approach in the year 2029 has no danger, it will be an extremely distant pass at more than 200 million km, the most important approach will be on June 27 and despite its size it will not be visible to the naked eye, it will pass too far. far away even for amateur telescopes, the estimated magnitude is 15.9 although we may have images from professional observatories.

Conclusion; If you see headlines such as Giant Asteroid Heading to Earth on June 27 or even worse headlines, do not waste your valuable time clicking to see the news, there is no risk of impact and I have already told you everything that is known about this asteroid. counted.
