2 aeroplane-sized potentially hazardous asteroids to pass by Earth
New Delhi, Aug 2 (IANS) Two asteroids 2024 NS1 and 2020 PN1 – about the size of an aeroplane – are set to pass by Earth on Friday, according to an alert by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California, US.
Asteroid 2024 NS1 is a 140-foot celestial space rock, classified as potentially hazardous due to its size and high-speed trajectory.
Yet, as per NASA, “It will pass safely at a distance of 1,260,000 kms from the Earth”.
This is significantly farther than the Moon. The average distance between the Earth and the Moon is about 3,85,000 kms.
On the other hand, asteroid 2020 PN1 is a smaller space rock about 90 feet in diameter.
“It will come relatively closer, passing within 6,887,000 kms of the Earth,” said NASA, adding “it poses no immediate threat to Earth”.
NASA’s Asteroid Watch dashboard tracks asteroids and comets that will approach Earth relatively closely.
The dashboard displays the date of the closest approach, approximate object diameter, relative size, and distance from Earth for each encounter.
It displays the next five Earth approaches within 7.5 million kms or 19.5 times the distance to the Moon.
According to NASA “an object larger than about 150 metres that can approach the Earth to within this distance is termed a potentially hazardous object.”
Two more aeroplane-sized asteroids are expected to fly past the Earth on Monday.
Asteroid 2017 TU1 is 70 feet in diameter and will zoom past the Earth at a distance of 2,400,000 kms. Asteroid 2023 HB7, which is 99 feet in diameter, will make the closest approach at 3,490,000 kms.
Thailand’s top diplomat requests South Korea’s support for smooth entry of Thai travellers
Seoul, Aug 2 (IANS) Thailand’s top diplomat requested the South Korean government on Friday to make it more convenient for Thai travellers to visit Seoul, the foreign ministry said, amid reports of negative sentiment within the Southeast Asian country due to Thai travellers being denied entry.
The request was made during bilateral talks between South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul and his Thai counterpart, Maris Sangiampongsa, in Seoul, the ministry said in a release, Yonhap news agency reported.
Since last year, stricter screening under the new Korea Electronic Travel Authorisation (K-ETA) system, which requires pre-travel approval for most nationalities, has led to increased instances of Thai travellers being refused entry to South Korea.
During the talks, Maris asked for the South Korean government’s interest and support to make entry for Thai travellers more convenient, emphasising that active exchanges between the two countries are the foundation of their friendly and cooperative relationship, the ministry said.
In response, Cho explained the government’s efforts to expand personal and labour exchanges, proposing that both countries work together to strengthen cooperation in a more forward-looking direction.
Earlier this year, the Culture Ministry requested the Justice Ministry include Thailand in the temporary K-ETA exemptions, but it was rejected. The justice ministry reportedly has defended the stricter entry rules for Thai nationals as necessary to prevent illegal immigration.
Thailand, previously the top Southeast Asian source market for South Korean tourism before the COVID-19 outbreak in 2019, now ranks second behind Vietnam.
The two ministers also agreed to launch a so-called “two plus two” director-level consultative body involving foreign and diplomatic sectors to contribute to regional peace, stability and prosperity.
Additionally, the ministers agreed to accelerate efforts to conclude the ongoing negotiations for an economic partnership agreement, the ministry said.
Cho also welcomed Thailand’s assumption of the role of South Korea-ASEAN coordinator starting this month, the ministry said.
Economists maintains forecast of recovery in Malaysia’s manufacturing sector
Kuala Lumpur, Aug 2 (IANS) Despite poor manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) reading in July, economists still expect the recovery in Malaysia’s manufacturing sector.
Kenanga Research said in a note on Friday that it still expects the recovery in Malaysia’s manufacturing sector especially the export-oriented industries, to gain momentum in the second half of the year.
According to the research house, this optimism is driven by the anticipated technology upcycle, fueled by higher demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and various stimulus measures in China.
However, downside risks persist, particularly from external factors like renewed global trade tensions, the escalating Middle East crisis and the prolonged Russia-Ukraine war, which continue to weigh on the global supply chains and demand, it said.
However, given the better-than-expected second quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth in Malaysia, Kenanga maintained its bullish outlook on Malaysia’s full year GDP growth.
“We expect it to settle near our upper-end target range of 4.5 percent to 5 percent, thanks to strong domestic demand and continued expansion in the services sector,” it said, Xinhua news agency reported.
MIDF Research also said in a note on Friday that it still projected better external trade performance for Malaysia in the second half.
It reiterated its projection for Malaysia’s exports of goods to rebound and expand by 5.2 percent in 2024.
According to MIDF Research, the dip in Malaysia’s PMI also aligns with the deterioration seen in other countries.
PublicInvest Research projected Malaysia’s exports to increase by 5.4 percent year on year in 2024.
The positive outlook is bolstered by enhanced economic governance and an improved competitiveness ranking, it noted.
Malaysia’s PMI is expected to align with global trends, surpassing the 50-level mark in the second half, assuming the stabilization of global uncertainties, according to the research house.
The S&P Global Market Intelligence said on Thursday that Malaysia’s manufacturing PMI fell to a three-month low of 49.7 in July from 49.9 in June, amid renewed moderation in new orders, signaling a fractional moderation in the health of the sector.
