NASA is monitoring three asteroids that are currently headed for Earth this February 2024. According to the agency’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies, the biggest asteroid from the group is almost double the size of Eiffel tower in Paris.
The first asteroid that will fly past Earth has been identified as 2008 OS7. As indicated in CNEOS’ database, this asteroid is currently moving at a speed of 40,712 miles per hour. It has been estimated to have a diameter of around 1640 feet. NASA JPL has classified 2008 OS7 as a "Potentially Hazardous Asteroid" due to its predicted close flyby with Earth. It has the capability of destroying an entire city if it hits the Earth due to its large size and fast speed.
 
CNEOS predicted that this asteroid will approach Earth on 02 February. During this time, the asteroid will be about 0.019 astronomical units or roughly 1.7 million miles away from us.
 
The second asteroid to approach Earth in February is 2023 SP1. The asteroid, measuring about 1312 feet wide, is currently flying at an average speed of 26,395 miles per hour. It is expected to fly past Earth on February 07.
 
It will fly past from a safe distance of about 0.033 astronomical units, which is around  3.4 million miles away.
 
Few days ago, NASA had also issued a warning about the potential impact of a 'lost asteroid,' named ‘2007 FT3’, posing a threat to Earth in 2024. This asteroid, discovered in 2007, had escaped from NASA’s view and was thus termed ‘lost’. But now, the estimated time of its collision with Earth has come closer. With a very minute chance of 1 in 11.5 million for an October 2024 collision, ‘2007 FT3’ holds the capacity to release energy equal to 2.6 billion tons of TNT. While it may cause damage in some regions, NASA has reassured that global harm is unlikely.
Talking about an approximate date, the most probable impact could be on October 5, 2024.
 
The third airplane-sized asteroid, 2002CA26, was discovered in 2002 and measures about 88 feet in size. It will pass Earth on February 08. This one will come the closest to the planet, traveling about 3,91,640 miles from Earth. This means the asteroid will just be a little farther than the distance between the Earth and the Moon.
 
According to NASA, asteroids are left over from the formation of our solar system. Our solar system began about 4.6 billion years ago when a big cloud of gas and dust collapsed each other. When this happened, most of the material fell to the centre of the cloud and formed the sun. Some of the condensing dust in the cloud became planets.
 
Due to their close approaches to the planet, the three asteroids have been labelled as near-Earth objects. According to CNEOS, NEOs are space rocks that have been nudged by the gravitational pull of nearby planets. None of the asteroids are expected to pose any threat. Objects are deemed "potentially hazardous" when they are coming within 4.6 million miles, which all of these asteroids are, but they also must be more than about 490 feet in size.

Flying towards and flying past are not the same but one headline will sell better than the other guess which one that is😅

No worry, NASA workers work too hard, they got confuse which planet or star is which, name they name them, not according to the real planet or star, so, no worry, you're not to worry, just spend your new riches, others may not have your luck of ability to spend their rich, due to there isn't any...
