Most near-Earth objects are asteroids that range in size from about 10 feet a few meters to nearly 25 miles 40 kilometers across.
. NASAs Eyes on Asteroids brings this data to any smartphone tablet or computer with an internet connection no download required. 2 days agoNASA have warned huge asteroids could be heading for Earth totally undetected due to a blind spot in the sky. But that doesnt mean were not looking just in case.
A NASA spacecraft that will deliberately crash into an asteroid has successfully launched. Thousands of asteroids and dozens of comets are discovered every single year some of which called near-Earth objects NEOs follow orbits that pass through the inner solar system. Is NASA aware of any Earth-threatening asteroids.

In October 2022 a half-mile-wide asteroid called Didymos will approach Earth. Near-Earth objects are asteroids and comets with orbits that bring them to within 120 million miles 195 million kilometers of the Sun which means they can circulate through the Earths orbital neighborhood. No luckily there are no known asteroid threats to Earth for at least 100 years.
According to Nasa the trio of objects are travelling up to 9000 miles per hour 14400 kph though theyre expected to soar by at a safe distance. The killer asteroid will be accompanied by its 500-foot-wide moon which will be orbiting it. Johnson revealed that so far there are 2078 potentially hazardous asteroids in NASAs catalogue.
Astronomers funded by the US space agency have found objects heading towards us at nigh. Given the huge size of Didymos and its moon ground-based telescopes. Learn more about the growing population of near-Earth objects with NASAs new 3D real-time web-based application.
Of the asteroids headed our way 1996 VB3 which has a diameter of about 750 feet is expected to come closest to Earth at a distance of only 21.
