A massive 210-foot asteroid called 2013 YA14 is heading towards Earth today at terrifying speed. NASA informs about speed, distance to Earth, and more.
As the whole world is bustling with Christmas, NASA has warned about 5 giant asteroids are rushing towards Earth at breakneck speed. Each day, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory publishes a list of asteroids that are close to Earth, their size, speed, and likelihood that they pose a threat to humanity and the Earth. These asteroids are sometimes very small while sometimes so large that they could even wipe out a quarter of the globe. Of the five massive asteroids close to our planet today, one is as large as 210 feet.

The 210-foot asteroid 2013 YA14 will make its closest approach to Earth today, December 25, at a distance of 1030,000 km. According to information provided by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). This plane-sized asteroid is also moving at a dizzying speed of 37692 km/h (10.47 km/s).
Although the asteroid does not pose any threat to the planet Earth and will simply pass by it, it is very important to track the movements of these massive asteroids. If a giant asteroid hits or hits the Earth, it can be very destructive over a large part of the area it impacts, and its impact can even be felt across the globe. world.
In addition to the 2013 YA14, four others small planet near planet Earth today are 400 foot 2022 TE14, 160 foot 2022 YL1, 70 foot 2022 YY1, and 17 foot 2022 YK3. Notably, all of these asteroids will pass by the planet without posing any threat. To track the movement of asteroids, NASA has deployed a number of Earth and Sky based technologies like telescopes, satellites, etc in space.
