The space agency forecasts the event for May 6, 2022 with a probability of 0.026% according to the Palermo scale, ie 1 in 3,800; so he considers it “potentially dangerous”.
This large asteroid, according to NASA, is comparable to the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt and could reach, at the time of impact, a speed of 95,000 kilometers per hour.

The aviation administration said in a statement that “some asteroids and comets follow orbital paths that bring them much closer to the Sun than usual and therefore to Earth.”
The collision system from which this information was obtained continuously scans the asteroids in the universe according to size, speed, size and date of appearance, as well as their possible impacts for the next 100 years.

2009 JF1 has been identified as the sixth most dangerous asteroid to date on the European Space Agency’s list of near-Earth object hazards. However, NASA experts are trying to attack these types of celestial bodies to divert them from their trajectory.
