Astronomers estimate that there are roughly 25,000 of these “near. Observations of the asteroid before and after impact suggest it is a loosely packed “rubble pile” object.
An object larger than about 150 meters that can approach the earth to within this distance is termed a potentially hazardous object. Artist’s impression of the asteroid (99942) apophis.
Asteroid 2024 Lo5, Measuring 62 Feet, Will Pass At A Distance Of 1,960,000 Kilometers, And Asteroid 2024 Kj, 77 Feet In Size, Will Approach At 5,260,000 Kilometers.
When telescopes track a new nea, astronomers measure the asteroid’s observed positions in the sky and report them to the minor planet center.
