NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory shared that the five asteroids will be relatively close to the Earth between January 2 and 11.
NASA’s asteroid observation dashboard for tracking celestial bodies shared the asteroids that passed on January 2-21 YK is about 36 feet in diameter, equivalent to the size of a bus, and is only 1,18,000 miles from Earth. No. 5, an asteroid 2021 YQ, about 220 feet in diameter, will pass 1.3 million miles away from the Earth. Another 24-foot diameter, bus-sized asteroid named 2014 YE15 will pass 4.6 million miles from Earth.
A 13-foot-diameter asteroid 2020 API will pass approximately 1.08 million miles from the Earth on January 7, and a huge 340-foot (building-sized) celestial body 2013 YD48 will fly past the Earth on January 11. 3.4 million miles.
However, considering that the average distance between the Earth and the moon itself is approximately 239,000 miles (385,000 kilometers), these asteroids have not been recognized by NASA as potentially dangerous objects.
