A giant asteroid identified as 153201 2000WO107 is on its way toward Earth. According to NASA's CNEOS, the NEA will be making its close approach with the planet on Nov. 29.
A 59-foot asteroid will be passing by Earth Wednesday at 5:09 p.m. EST. The near-Earth asteroid 2020 VX4 will be incredibly close to the planet when it makes its flyby — almost as close as the moon.
NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies reports that on Dec. 1, a 32-foot asteroid will be closer to our planet than the moonn is. The flyby is said to occur at 5:04 a.m. EDT.
Asteroids 2020 UN3 and 2020 UL3 are expected to make their flyby Tuesday. The two NEAs are considered Apollo asteroids and are bigger than the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, according to NASA's CNEOS.
NASA's asteroid tracker revealed that a 787-foot near-Earth object will be passing by the planet this week. The giant asteroid will be making its flyby on Saturday at 4:45 a.m. EST.
Two near-Earth asteroids (NEA) are expected to pass by the Earth this weekend. The two giant asteroids will be as big as the Space Needle and the Statue of Liberty.
A total of three gigantic asteroids will be making their way to Earth's vicinity this week. The biggest near-Earth asteroid to zip by has a diameter of about 590 feet, according to NASA's asteroid tracker.
A 59-foot asteroid identified as 2020 HF4 will pass by Earth in the early evening on Election Day, according to NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS).
An asteroid the size of a refrigerator could possibly hit Earth a day before Election Day. 2018 VP1 will be flying by at 7:33 a.m. EDT on Monday, followed by 2020 UA3 on the same day.
Four near-Earth asteroids will be making their way toward Earth's vicinity on Wednesday, according to NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies. The biggest among the four objects to zip by is estimated to be as tall as the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
As October draws to a close, a total of 16 asteroids is expected to pass by the planet this week, with the largest reaching 301 ft. — as big as the Statue of Liberty in New York.
A 426-foot asteroid will be heading close to Earth on Sunday, as noted by NASA's asteroid tracking system.
A total of four asteroids are making their way towards Earth, NASA's CNEOS data reveals.
NASA is building state-of-the-art laboratories in preparation for the arrival of the asteroid Bennu sample obtained by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft. The sample is scheduled for return to Earth in 2023.
A total of eight near-Earth objects are set to make their way past the planet Tuesday. Three are bigger than the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy.
OSIRIS-REx is set to collect samples to asteroid Bennu this Tuesday, and NASA will be live streaming the whole event.
Scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson warns about an asteroid possibly hitting Earth on Nov. 2.
NASA has announced in an article that they will be providing a live stream to those who wish to witness OSIRIS-REx's first ever attempt to collect samples from an asteroid's surface.
