NASA says 5 asteroids will pass Earth in the coming days: Check size, speed and more

 According to NASA, 5 massive asteroids will pass Earth in the coming days. From size, speed to distance of close approach, know all about these close approaches.

NASA keeps an eye on the near-Earth asteroids (NEOs) via the Near-Earth Object Observation Program,  managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California. 

NASA uses several telescopes such as Pan-STARRS, Catalina Sky Survey, NEOWISE mission, and more to track asteroids and other celestial objects.

Here are the five upcoming asteroids which will come very close to Earth in the coming days.

Asteroid 2024 EL4: This space rock will come close to Earth on March 23 at a distance of 5650000 KM. The asteroid is moving at a speed of 4249 km per hour and it is 120 feet wide. 

Asteroid 2024 EU4: The next asteroid is reported to be 240 feet wide. The rock is moving at a speed of 101885 KM per hour. It will come close to Earth on March 23 with a distance of 7240000 KM. 

Asteroid 2019 CJ: This asteroid is 88 feet wide and it will come close to Earth on March 24 at a distance of 4760000 KM. Currently, it is moving at a speed of 15681 KM per hour.
