The average price of a litre of petrol last Monday was 139.46 pence, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said. Stock levels are now finally returning to normal, but the cost of petrol has soared with prices nearly reaching the highest level ever recorded in the UK.

The crisis came after a shortage of HGV drivers was reportedly affecting supply to some fuel stations across the UK.Īs a result, fuel sales went up by 80% compared to normal levels, according to Wales Online. Just last month drivers were flocking to forecourts to fill up their tanks, but queues have now returned to normal. The former will return first on April 2, and the latter will follow making its next close approach to Earth a month later on May 3.Īsteroid 2021 VR4 will next pass Earth in October 2023, but the fourth asteroid, 2019 BB5 won't return until December 4, 2024.People are no longer flocking to petrol stations to panic buy fuel - but prices are now sky high. The largest and fastest asteroid, 2009 WB105 will be much farther out passing within 3.6 million miles of Earth.Īccording to NASA, both asteroids 2009 WB1 BB5 will return to the region of space around Earth in the first half of next year. In terms of distances from Earth, 2021 VR4 will come the closest to our planet passing with just half a million miles.

That's still fast enough to cover 48 football fields in the time it takes Brady's undoubtedly impressively rapid thrown ball to traverse one football field. While the smallest of Earth's four Thanksgiving visitors, 2021 VF11, with a diameter of just 23 meters, will pass Earth at a comparatively leisurely pace of 2,930 mph, or 1,310 meters (nearly 4,300 feet) per second. The 27-meter diameter asteroid 2019 BB5 will be traveling at almost 19,000 miles per hour when it passes Earth on November 25. The asteroid 2021 VR4 has an estimated diameter of up to 30 meters (nearly 100 feet) and will pass Earth at around 17,224 miles per hour, about nine times as fast as a bullet fired by a rifle. The three companions of 2009 WB105 won't be as big or traveling quite as fast.

In fact, traveling at this speed, in the four seconds it would take Brady's ball to cover the length of the field this hypervelocity ball would have traveled the entire 446,000-meter length of the Grand Canyon and made it half the way back. If a player could throw a football as fast as 2009 WB105 will be moving it would travel from goal post to goal post in just 0.006 of a second.
