Four 'City Killer' Asteroids to Safely Pass Earth Today

NASA confirms none of the asteroids pose a collision threat as they pass within millions of miles of Earth.

The largest asteroid, 2002 NV16, measures 580 feet and will pass 2.8 million miles from Earth, posing no threat.
Asteroids 2024 TR6 and 2024 TP17 were only discovered earlier this month, highlighting ongoing asteroid detection efforts.
All four asteroids are classified as potentially hazardous due to their size and proximity, but their paths are well-calculated.
Asteroid 2024 TR6 will return in 2039, coming even closer at 1.2 million miles, while 2024 TP17 will return in 2040.
Efforts to improve early detection of asteroids include the planned launch of ESA’s Neomir observatory in 2030.
