Asteroid heading towards Earth: 75-feet-long rock set to safely pass Earth, says NASA | Oneindia

Asteroid, named 2023 XO7, is racing through space at an impressive speed of 24,182 km per hour, equivalent to the velocity of a commercial airplane.

NASA, with its watchful eye on the cosmos, assures us that there's no need to panic.

The asteroid is not on a collision course with our home planet; instead, it will gracefully pass by at a distance of 2.4 million km.

This information underscores NASA's commitment to monitoring celestial bodies that venture a little too close to Earth for comfort.
