An animation of a car-sized asteroid's very close approach to Earth

in animation •  4 years ago 

Today I am going to present an animation that shows a car-sized  asteroid that made the closest approach to Earth on August 16, 2020. I  spent around 5 to 6 hours to make this animation. It consists of around  forty frames.

This car-sized space rock known as asteroid 2020 QG was discovered by a NASA-funded asteroid survey. According to this article,  asteroids always move near our home planet. But asteroid 2020 QG made a  new record that haven’t been recorded by other asteroids before. It  just moved 1,830 miles away from Earth. 

I wish I could see this asteroid. But it is not possible to see them  with open eyes because they pass by at a greater distances. According to  NASA scientists, the space has hundreds of millions of small asteroids  but we can’t discover them all. They can be discovered only if they make  very close distance to Earth.

This animation is original and made by me
