National Near Miss Day is celebrated in the US and across various regions of the world. The day might have originated in the United States but holds significance for everyone worldwide.
This special date of March 23 is celebrated mainly by people with an interest in astronomy from the various regions of the US as well as the world.
Not much is known about when the National Near Miss day was celebrated for the first time. March 23 is celebrated annually to commemorate this historical event when an asteroid had a close call with hitting Earth.
We do not know who started the National Near Miss Day, most probably after 1989 when the asteroid passed by the Earth. However, this day is in honor of all the second chances that life offers us.
March 23 marked when a huge asteroid missed striking the Earth, thus giving us all a second chance at life. Therefore, in remembrance of this event, people worldwide celebrate this particular date as National Near Miss Day.
As interesting as this day may sound, we could not find any tradition or custom linked to this day. This is a special holiday meant for people who value the science of astronomy or are generally curious about outer space or to learn more about these curious phenomena.
Every year, the National Near Miss Day is observed by everyone to celebrate life and make people realize how fortunate they are in getting a second chance at it. On this day, you can reflect upon the various second chances that life has offered you till now.
You can learn about the different asteroids found in space, or you can even share the story of how the asteroid Asclepius was so close to hitting the Earth and missed only by six hours. You can also try and share videos and pictures with your close ones of this particular incident.
On this day, the asteroid that missed the Earth was named after the Greek demigod of medicine, Asclepius. He was the son of Apollo.
Among other fun holidays, National Puppy Day is also celebrated on this particular day to raise awareness about puppy adoption.
The size of the Asclepius asteroid, which could affect us all, was (985.3 ft) 300 m wide.
This day educates us all on how harmful asteroids could be for the Earth. It was, after all, an asteroid which was caused the extinction of the mighty dinosaurs!
A huge asteroid was about to hit the Earth on this particular date and only missed by a few hours. Therefore this day is observed annually to celebrate life and all the second chances it has to offer.
This particular day helps you understand just how valuable life is and also that humans have no control over the power of the cosmos.
People celebrate this day by visiting NASA'S official website and educating themselves on all the mysteries of space.
Not much is known about who exactly declared this day; however, throughout history, this day has been celebrated largely by people from all across the globe.
