260-foot Asteroid 2023 EK2 set for close Earth encounter TODAY; Behemoth speeding at 55468 kmph
NASA has recently warned about a similar asteroid that is approaching Earth and is expected to have a close encounter with the planet. Although asteroids can be found orbiting our Sun between Mars and Jupiter within the main asteroid belt, they can sometimes stray from their trajectory and head towards Earth for a potential surface impact. Asteroids move in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, and they also rotate while moving, sometimes in an erratic manner. Now, Asteroid 2023 EK2 is on its way and it will make a close approach to Earth today.
