NASA Alert! 100-Feet Airplane-Sized Asteroid To Pass Earth Today At 22,847 KM/H: Full Details Here
The asteroid, estimated to be around 100 feet in size, roughly the length of an airplane, will fly by at a distance of 6,820,000 kilometres from our planet.
‘Potentially Hazardous’ Asteroid Will Zoom By Earth Tonight—But NASA Says It’s Safe: What To Know
The asteroid is around 500 feet and will come within 2 million miles of Earth, which is about eight times further than the moon.
Asteroid alert: NASA warns of three massive space rocks on a collision course with Earth today
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is currently tracking three asteroids scheduled to pass Earth on 25 025.
Earth will soon have a temporary 2nd moon
We will call it mini-moon. All about Earth temporary second moon, asteroid 2024 PT5
There's a new moon on the horizon. The Earth will gain a second, mini-moon on Sept. 29, but it won't stick around too long. Here's what to know.
Earth to Gain a Second 'Mini Moon,' May Return in 2050s
A 33-foot asteroid named 2024 PT5 is expected to briefly orbit the Earth between September 29 and November 25.
Earth Is Temporarily Getting a Second ‘Moon’
Starting next week, the moon, Earth’s closest celestial body, will be joined by a new neighbor: a second moon. From Sept. 29 until Nov. 25, astronomers calculate that 2024 PT5— which is what scientists think is an asteroid but have dubbed a “mini-moon”—will be looping around Earth.

How X-rays from Nuclear Blasts Could Save Earth from a Killer Asteroid
To assess whether this technique could actually deflect an asteroid heading toward Earth, the team fed their experimental results into computer simulations. They found that a nuclear blast emitting X-rays detonated a few kilometers from an asteroid, could deflect space rocks up to 4 kilometers wide.
Asteroids Could Be Deflected Using X-rays From Nuclear Weapons
Exploding a nuclear bomb above a huge asteroid could vaporize its surface using X-rays, pushing the space rock away from Earth.
Scientists say X-rays from nuclear explosion may deflect asteroids from Earth
Scientists in New Mexico conducted several experiments and learned that asteroids can be deflected from Earth using explosions of nuclear warheads above the space rock's surface.
