The Earth will be passed by an asteroid the size of a stadium in the early hours of Thursday morning, according to Live Science. The asteroid is likely to be about 20 miles a second away from the Sun when you read this.
The collision of asteroids with Earth is nothing new. It is still a bit scary when you know its approach is relatively close to our planet, and it gets worse when astronomers spot it just days before it flies by.
The asteroid 2022 OE2 belongs to this category of asteroids that astronomers were unaware were heading towards the Earth. As described by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the asteroid is about 700 feet in diameter, or about the size of a stadium.
The spacecraft will pass the Earth at a distance of 3.2 million miles (5.2 million km), which is nothing compared to the Moon's distance of 239,000 miles (385,000 km).
This page lists all objects in a range of 4.6 million miles (7.5 million km) from Earth, while objects larger than 492 feet (150 m) are classified as potentially hazardous.
As such, asteroid 2022 OE2 carries a significant risk since collisions with other asteroids, or gravitational pull from larger celestial objects, might alter its trajectory and send it towards the Earth instead of merely passing it.
The following five asteroid approaches are all recently discovered asteroids. There are three happening today, including the 2022 OE2, and two tomorrow, August 5.
As it flies away at a distance of 631,000 miles (a million km), asteroid 2022 OB5 will make the closest approach. Though the asteroid is no larger than a car, if it came close to Earth it would probably burn up in the atmosphere.
The Earth was smashed by two asteroids the size of buses last month, even closer than the Moon. In addition to traveling at 25,000 miles (40,000 km) an hour, they were both spotted only a week earlier, so they had very little time to react.
There's a good chance that the next asteroid won't be this small, and could have catastrophic consequences if it hits our planet. NASA launched the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) last year to learn how to deflect such asteroids.
As part of an experiment planned for September of this year, an asteroid's moon will crash into a spacecraft which will change its course ever so slightly to determine whether or not it is feasible in the future.
The DART mission should provide scientists with sufficient time to analyze data from the DART mission before another surprise asteroid strikes. NASA suggests that a cataclysmic asteroid will strike Earth within 100 years.
