NASA has announced that an asteroid the size of an airliner will be passing close to Earth on Tuesday. The 200-foot asteroid, named 2023 JD2, will come within 3.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-latest-tall-tale-this-one-about-amtrak-just-doesnt-add-up\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s Latest Tall Tale, This One About Amtrak, Just Doesn\u2019t Add Up\">5 million miles<\/a> of our planet, which is relatively close in terms of space. <\/p>\n<h3>Potentially Hazardous Object<\/h3>\n<p>According to NASA&#8217;s Asteroid Watch, objects larger than 150 feet that pass within 4.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nasa-to-nudge-asteroid-to-keep-it-from-threatening-earth\/\" title=\"NASA To Nudge Asteroid To Keep It From Threatening Earth\">6 million miles<\/a> of Earth are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nasa-says-airliner-sized-asteroid-to-pass-earth-on-tuesday\/\" title=\"A large asteroid will fly by Earth on Tuesday, according to NASA.\">considered potentially hazardous<\/a>. However, there is little to no danger of 2023 JD2 hitting Earth, unless an unforeseen force knocks it off course.<\/p>\n<h3>Another Near Pass By<\/h3>\n<p>But wait, there&#8217;s more! On the same day, a smaller 46-foot asteroid, about the size of a house, will also make a near pass by Earth. This asteroid, named 2023 JO1, is estimated to pass within 1.86 million miles of our planet.<\/p>\n<h3>Near-Earth Objects<\/h3>\n<p>Both asteroids fall under the classification of near-Earth objects, which NASA defines as &#8220;comets and asteroids that have been nudged by the gravitational attraction of nearby planets into orbits that allow them to enter the Earth&#8217;s neighborhood.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>City Killer<\/h3>\n<p>2023 JD2 is similar in size to another asteroid, 2023 DZ2, which passed close by Earth in June. Estimated to be between 140 and 310 feet long, 2023 DZ2 was large enough to take out an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/11-alarm-fire-burns-n-j-recycling-plant\/\" title=\"11-alarm fire burns N.J. recycling plant\">entire city<\/a>, earning it the nickname &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-russian-foreign-minister-putin-will-only-consider-using-nukes-if-he-feels-an-existential-threat-to-his-regime\/\" title=\"Former Russian Foreign Minister: Putin Will Only Consider Using Nukes If He Feels an \u201cExistential Threat\u201d to His Regime\">city killer<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>What Are Asteroids?<\/h3>\n<p>Asteroids are relatively small and inactive objects that orbit the sun, typically inside the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Occasionally, asteroids will take an orbit that brings them deep inside the solar system, putting them on a possible collision course with Earth. They are composed of rock, dust, or metallic materials.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting celestial events!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NASA reported that a 200-foot asteroid named 2023 JD2 will pass within 3.5 million miles of Earth on Tuesday.
