NASA has alerted us that asteroid 2024 OE is approaching Earth on August 1, 2024. Asteroid 2024 OE is a potentially hazardous asteroid.
This asteroid is 190 feet wide, which is similar in size to a Boeing 747. It's a big one!
The asteroid 1950 DA is estimated to be about 1 kilometer in diameter. It is expected to safely pass Earth at a distance of 0.92 million miles, which is far from our planet.
NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) is responsible for monitoring the trajectories of near-Earth asteroids. This data is vital for understanding the risks posed by these objects and for planning missions to study them.
International collaboration is essential for tracking asteroids and ensuring our safety from potential threats. By working together, we can improve our ability to track asteroids and ensure that we are prepared to deal with any threats that they may pose.
