According to NASA, an asteroid the size of an airplane is expected to cross Earth next week. NASA specialists are eager to explain that the event will be “more routine than remarkable,” despite the fact that word of the massive rock’s approach has been making headlines.
The asteroid, officially designated 2025 OW, is said to be 220 feet in size. It will pass Earth on Monday, July 28 with 390,000 miles remaining, according to NASA’s plan. NASA’s online visualization of the massive space rock is available for viewing.
This is almost 1.6 times the typical distance to the moon, according to NASA. The moon and Earth are typically separated by roughly 239,000 miles (385,000 kilometers). Although it may seem extremely fast, the 2025 OW is traveling at 46,908 miles per hour, which is quite normal and shouldn’t cause any concern.
