A dangerous meteor - the asteroid - has passed closest to Earth. It was as big as an SUV. The meteorite passed over 2950 kilometers above the Indian Ocean. On Tuesday, the US space agency NASA said that it has been named '2020 QG'. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) said that if it had come to Earth, it would have been reduced to ashes in the air due to an air collision.

The asteroid was first observed through a telescope at the California Institute of Technology. Asteroids of this size have been passing this distance several times a year. This is the shortest possible distance recorded.

The size of the asteroid flying at a speed of 12.3 km per second was about 10-20 feet i.e. three to six meters. It passed over the Indian Ocean at 9.30am on Sunday. At that time its speed was 12.3 km per second. It passed through Earth's orbit, where most telecommunications satellites revolve.
