Two asteroids 100 feet (30 meters) or larger will approach Earth today, June 18, 2023, according to NASA. The largest asteroid is 110 feet (34 meters) across or roughly the size of a 10-story building.
Astronomers monitor the sky for any asteroids that come uncomfortably close to Earth. the Asteroid Observation The dashboard tracks these asteroids and comets as they approach our planet. It records the dates of closest approach, the approximate diameter of the space rock, its relative size, and its distance from Earth. According to this nifty instrument, five of these objects will approach Earth within the next few days, with the largest measuring 180 feet (55 meters) in diameter.
2023 LW and 2023 LV will be their closest approaches to Earth today. The 2023 LW engine will be within 1.4 million miles (2.3 million km), while the 2023 LV will be within 2.8 million miles (4.5 million km) traveling at 28,846 kilometers per hour (17,924 mph).
Today Earth will be blasted off by two space rocks, followed by three more close approaches over the next three days. 2016 LK49 IS space rock It is regarding 70 feet (21 meters) in diameter and will come within 4.1 million miles (6.7 million kilometers) of Earth on June 19, 2023. 2023 LT1 is 49 feet (15 meters) in diameter. Its closest approach to Earth on June 20, 2023 is estimated to be regarding 427,000 miles (687,000 km). All told, 2023 HF1 will be regarding 180 feet (55 meters) in diameter and will fly regarding 38 million miles (4.8 million kilometers) from Earth on June 21, 2023.
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) lists any object over 150 meters high that can approach Earth within 4.6 million miles (7.5 million km) as hazardous material. This is 19.5 times the distance to the Moon, and the average distance between Earth and the Moon is regarding 239,000 miles (385,000 kilometers). All five of these asteroids are too small to be classified as dangerous.
