Dagupan City – NASA is monitoring three asteroids that are near Earth today.
One of them will come within just 77,200 miles of our planet, which is roughly one-third of the average distance between Earth and the moon.
This asteroid, called ‘2025 CF,’ is estimated to be 12 feet wide and has not had a close encounter with Earth since 2013.
This space rock will make another close pass by our planet in January 2033.
The other two asteroids, 2025 CD and 2025 CE, are estimated to be 22 feet and 43 feet wide, respectively.
This makes each of them about the size of a bus, but they will stay farther away from our planet when they pass by today.
The closest approach of asteroid 2025 CD will be 396,000 miles, and 2025 CE’s will be 680,000 miles.
Two more bus-sized asteroids will also zip through Earth’s cosmic neighborhood today, but they will remain millions of miles away.
