A "potentially dangerous asteroid" is heading toward Earth at a speed of 76,000 miles per hour - more than 122,000 kilometers per hour, NASA reported.

Asteroid 2002 AJ129 will approach Earth on February 4. Although, at the time of maximum approach, the asteroid will be more than 4.2 million kilometers from our planet, the celestial body is classified by NASA as a "potentially dangerous asteroid" (PHA, for its acronym in English ). The US space agency clarified, however, that the 2002 AJ129 does not pose a real threat of collision with Earth in the foreseeable future.

"We have been tracking this asteroid for more than 14 years and know its orbit very accurately (...) Our calculations indicate that the 2002 asteroid AJ129 has no chance of colliding with the Earth on February 4 or at any time during the next 100 years, "said Paul Chodas, an expert at the near-Earth objects research center at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

The 2002 AJ129 is a near-Earth asteroid (NEA, for its acronym in English) of intermediate size. Some media noted that it exceeds in size the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa skyscraper. The NEA, whose diameter is between 0.5 kilometers and 1.2 kilometers, was discovered on January 15, 2002 by the old project of monitoring of near-Earth asteroids sponsored by NASA of the Haleakala Observatory in Hawaii ( USA).

We will work together as a community to build relationships for Asgardia. We will ensure that the cultural hub that is Montreal is properly represented int he future of space and and showcase ourselves amongst our Asgardian brothers and sisters globally.

Meet-ups and attending events can be done and we will push our community onwards.
