NASA announces “two dangerous asteroids flying towards Earth”

According to the British newspaper The Sun, citing NASA data, two potentially dangerous asteroids are approaching Earth.

According to the newspaper, one of them – the 2013 YD48 – is the size of Big Ben. The asteroid is about 104 meters wide and will pass the planet on January 11 at a distance of 5.6 million kilometers.
The second celestial body – 7482 YD48 – is twice the size of the US Empire State Building, and the asteroid will approach Earth on January 18. According to the NASA Center for the Study of Near-Earth Objects, this is a close approach.

New research shows that the catastrophic nature of events associated with the fall of large asteroids is determined not primarily by their size, but by the composition of the atmospheric emission.

If we focus on studying the mineral composition of asteroids and where they fall, we can get rid of many of the complexities of previous theories explaining mass extinctions of animals and plants through impact events.
