Asteroid today: Menacing space rock heading for Earth today! Clocked at 54216 kmph
Asteroids have been flying by Earth closely all year. Last month alone witnessed nearly 40 asteroids passing by and October is set to follow the trend as more than 7 asteroids have already passed by Earth closely. NASA' Planetary Defense Coordination Office has classified all these asteroids as “Potentially Hazardous Objects” due to the close proximity with which they pass by Earth. Now, another one is on its way to Earth today.
