Through which it is constantly being claimed that on April 29, 2020, the world is going to be a disaster. On April 29, a hidden planet is going to hit the Earth. The world will end when the meteorite collides with the earth. Amidst the corona virus epidemic, such false rumors are being claimed on social media by the US Space Research Agency NASA. But NASA itself denied this rumor on 4 March itself.

 

What is being claimed?

 

A video is viral on social media, showing an asteroid coming close to the Earth. The caption of this video has been given that the world will end on April 29.

 

What is the truth?

 

According to NASA, an asteroid, officially called 52768 (1998 OR2), will pass nearly 4 million miles on Earth on April 29. This Asteroid, named OR2 1998, can be potentially dangerous because of its sheer size. But this will keep the earth completely safe. There is nothing to fear from this.

 

That is why the claims of NASA announcing the end of the world on April 29 are false.
