NASA Tracks Multiple Asteroids Approaching Earth Tomorrow

NASA is currently monitoring two asteroids approaching Earth: the car-sized 2025 FM18, which will pass at a distance of about 172,000 miles, and the larger 2025 FP6, expected to come within 4.6 million miles. Additionally, recent observations from the James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed that the 'city-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 poses no threat to Earth during its close approach in December 2032, although it may impact the Moon. The JWST's findings suggest that 2024 YR4 is larger and rockier than previously estimated, leading scientists to continue monitoring it closely. This asteroid, initially feared to have a significant impact probability, has been deemed safe for Earth, marking a relief for planetary defense efforts. Future observations of 2024 YR4 are scheduled for May 2025, before it becomes less visible for several years. The ongoing research demonstrates the importance of monitoring near-Earth objects to ensure global safety.
