A 250-Feet Asteroid Coming Near Earth At 63,683 Kmph. All You Need To Know

Asteroid 2024 JB2 is a part of the Apollo group and has an astonishing speed of 63,683 kilometres per hour, NASA's CNEOS data stated.

Asteroids approaching Earth always make headlines because a collision with one could result in a massive disaster for human life. Recently, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Jet Propulsion Laboratory noted that Earth will have some relatively close encounters with asteroids in the coming days. A 250-feet asteroid, which is nearly the size of a building, will pass close to Earth tonight. Asteroid 2024 JB2 is a part of the Apollo group and has an astonishing speed of 63,683 kilometres per hour, NASA's CNEOS data stated. Although asteroids are not unusual, the size and speed of this particular celestial object are concerning.

Despite its enormous size and speed, scientists are not alarmed this time. The safe distance between this asteroid and Earth is guaranteed by NASA to be around 2.75 million miles.

Although the majority of asteroids avoid Earth, a small number fall into a category known as potentially hazardous asteroids. These are large-more than 460 feet and their orbits carry them close to Earth's orbit around the Sun, at 4.6 million miles (7.5 million km).
