Nasa Tracks Plane-Sized Asteroid Speeding Toward Earth At 47,000 Mph<\/p>\n
NASA Tracks Airplane-Sized Asteroid Flying Toward Earth at 46,908 MPH. NASA is monitoring an asteroid, officially named 2025 OW, about 220 feet in size, expected to pass by Earth on Monday, July 28 at a distance of 390,000 miles\u2014about 1.6 times farther than the Moon.<\/p>\n
Though it\u2019s moving fast, experts say this flyby is routine and poses no threat. NASA\u2019s Ian O\u2019Neill emphasized: \u201cIf there was any danger, we would issue alerts. This is a normal event.\u201d Davide Farnocchia from NASA\u2019s Near-Earth Object Studies office added: \u201cClose approaches happen all the time\u2014<\/p>\n
2025 OW won\u2019t be visible even with binoculars, but NASA is also looking ahead to a more exciting event: asteroid\u2026<\/p>\n

2025 OW won\u2019t be visible even with binoculars, but NASA is also looking ahead to a more exciting event: asteroid Apophis, which will pass just 20,000 miles from Earth on April 13, 2029, closer than some satellites. It was once thought to pose a risk, but NASA has since ruled out any danger for at least a century.<\/p>\n
