In particular, NASA’s Asteroid Watch Dashboard tracks relatively close-to-Earth asteroids and comets. The asteroid’s trajectory, diameter, relative size, distance from Earth, date of arrival, etc. will be included in the dashboard.
Asteroid 2023 FU6:A small asteroid about 45 feet in size made its closest approach to Earth on April 3. At that time the distance between the two was 1,870,000 kilometers.
Asteroid 2023 FS11: The 82-foot asteroid, about the size of an airplane, also made its closest approach to Earth on April 3 at a distance of 6,610,000 kilometers.
Asteroid 2023 FA7: The asteroid, which is about the size of a large airplane and measures 92 days, will make its closest approach to Earth on April 4. 2,250,000 km to Earth. It comes in the distance.
Asteroid 2023 FQ7: The 65-foot house-sized asteroid will come within 5,750,000 kilometers of Earth on April 5.
Asteroid 2023 FZ3: Asteroid is the largest of the upcoming asteroids. It is expected to pass Earth on April 6. A 150-foot-wide asteroid will hurtle toward Earth at a speed of 67,656 km/h. It comes within 4,190,000 km of Earth. Not dangerous though..
There are about 30,000 near-Earth asteroids of all sizes, including 850 that are more than a kilometer wide. It is said that these in ‘Near Earth Objects (NEO)’ will not pose a threat to the Earth for the next 100 years.
According to NASA.. Asteroids are left over from the formation of our solar system. Our solar system formed from clouds of gas and dust about 4.6 billion years ago. When this happens most of the matter falls into the middle of the cloud and the Sun is formed. Some of the dust in the cloud became planets.
Recently NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office said there is a small chance that a newly discovered asteroid roughly the size of an Olympic swimming pool will hit Earth on Valentine’s Day after 23 years.
