Then, on September 17 and September 20, two other asteroids are expected to pass by.For October, the agency is also expecting 10 asteroids to flyby between October 1 and October 29. The Near-Earth Object (NEO) is almost twice the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza at about 270m wide and flies at 31,400mph towards the Earth.The space rock, called 465824 (2010 FR), was first spotted by astronomers in 2010.

"It's really cool to see a small asteroid come by this close, because we can see the Earth's gravity dramatically bend its trajectory," said Paul Chodas, director of the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.
NASA broke the news... an asteroid is on a trajectory to hit the United States of America on November 2, 2020.
NASA estimates the earliest date on which the asteroid could strike falls on November 2, 2020.
If it had been on a collision course with Earth, the asteroid — named 2020 QG — … "It's really cool to see a small asteroid come by this close, because we can see the Earth's gravity dramatically bend its trajectory," said CNEOS Director Paul Chodas adding that their calculations show that the rock asteroid even turned by about 45 degrees as it passed by the Earth.While NASA admitted it did not see the space rock coming, the Zwicky Transient Facility was able to take a wide-field camera image of the 2020 QG as it was heading away from Earth, six hours after the closest point of approach.

"One thing the news media is misunderstanding is the extremely small size of the asteroid," Paul Chodas, director of the Center for Near Earth Object Studies at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said in a statement. ⓒ 2018 TECHTIMES.com All rights reserved.

Asteroid 2018VP1 is currently projected to come close to Earth sometime during the day before the 2020 presidential election on Nov. 3, according to NASA.
But it's not expected to collide with our planet, thankfully. Earlier this week, NASA said an asteroid was projected to head toward Earth, potentially entering the atmosphere on November 2, a day before the US presidential election. It also flew more than 130 times closer than the Moon to the Earth at 230,000 miles. Since it crosses the Earth's orbit, it is classed as an Apollo asteroid.Fortunately, the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) scientists said the asteroid is not a threat to human life. NSW has recorded 17 new coronavirus cases. The two asteroids named by NASA are 2016 DY30 and 2020 … (WIS) - Talk about a close-call. 31 August 2020, 1:39 am EDT By CJ Robles Tech Times NASA is tracking a huge asteroid that is set to collide with the Earth's orbit on September 6. NASA says these larger asteroids are more easily detectable from a farther distance from Earth because their rate of motion across the sky is typically much smaller at that distance.A close-call, but certainly all the more reason to keep our eyes on the sky.A Washington D.C. committee released a report recommending the renaming, removal or contextualizing of various public schools, residential buildings and campuses, public spaces and government buildings in the district.The Savannah Police Department is investigating a shooting that left on man injured Tuesday night off of West Broad Court. An SUV-size space rock flew past our planet over the weekend and was detected by a NASA-funded asteroid survey as it departed.
