Music used Voyager - by Jonny Easton

NASA JPL has classified asteroid 2022 SE10 and asteroid 2022 RA5 as a "Potentially Hazardous Asteroid" due to its predicted close passes with Earth.

The asteroid 2022 SE10 was discovered on September 22, 2022. This near-Earth object belongs to the Apollo group.

It makes one orbit around the Sun in 640 days. The size of this asteroid is approximately 89 feet.

The distance of the asteroid 2022 SE10 from Earth is currently 2.38 million kilometers, equivalent to 0.02 astronomical units. Light takes 0 minutes and 7 seconds to travel from the asteroid 2022 SE10 and arrive to us.

The asteroid 2022 SE10 will pass past Earth on October 10.

The asteroid 2022 RA5 potential hazard near-Earth object. Its size is estimated in the range from 28 meters to 63 meters.

And It makes one orbit around the Sun in 594 days.

The distance of the asteroid 2022 RA5 from Earth is currently 5.24 million kilometers, equivalent to 0.04 astronomical units. Light takes 0 minutes and 17 seconds to travel from the asteroid 2022 RA5 and arrive to us.

NASA successfully tested its Double Asteroid
Redirection Test (DART) Mission spacecraft strike on a non-hazardous asteroid called
Dimorphos in order to test planetary defence.
The learnings from this asteroid attack will be used to protect Earth from asteroids that are heading for a collision with our planet. According to NASA, this is the world's first mission to deflect an asteroid in space.

Yeah right, I just check my asteroid map and it passes from a big big million distance, and size of asteroid I think is 43m

SE10 doesn't worry me. It's the size of a school bus or smaller. RA5 is 120 ft long, which is more problematic, but it missed us by 3.1 million miles Oct 12, 2022. RA5 is of concern, however because it is an earth-crosser (Apollo class) asteroid and may pose a future threat.

And…..they’ll miss by a million miles. As ever.

Thanks for the space force Trump. Bigger government with more waste. NASA handles this stuff when it should be the space force.
