Earth is being hit this weekend by two asteroids the size of skyscrapers

The closest approach of one of the asteroids to Earth will be on Friday (July 29), while the closest approach of the other will be on Saturday (July 30).

Asteroid 2016 CZ31 will pass by around 7 pm ET (23:00 GMT) on Friday, traveling at an estimated speed of 34,560 mph (55,618 km/h).

At its widest point, the asteroid measures about 400 feet (122 meters) across, which is the size of a 40-story building.

There will be another, larger asteroid skimming past our planet on Saturday, though at a greater distance. At its widest point, 2013 CU83 measures about 600 feet (183 m) across and will pass Earth at about 4,320,000 miles (6,960,000 km), or about 18 times the average distance between Earth and the moon.

The colossal space rock will be traveling at 13,153 mph (21,168 km/h) when it reaches Earth at 7:37 p.m. ET (23:37 p.m. GMT).

The asteroid 2022 NF (opens in new tab) came within 56,000 miles (90,000 km) on July 7 - or about 23% of the average distance between Earth and the moon.

Near-Earth objects like these are closely monitored by NASA and other space agencies.

Planetary defense is a top priority for space agencies. NASA launched the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) in November 2021, which will slam directly into the 525-foot-wide (160 m) asteroid Dimorphos in autumn (opens in new tab) 2022.

According to Live Science, the collision won't destroy the asteroid, but it may alter its orbital path slightly. Should a future asteroid threaten our planet, the mission will test the viability of asteroid deflection.
