How big is the Universe?

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has announced that three asteroids will pass close to Earth in the next few days, between 12 November and 26 November.

The first asteroid, named 2020 UL3, measures around 459 feet wide. It will pass Earth at a distance of approximately 1.5 million kilometres on 12 November. This asteroid is hurtling through space at an incredible speed of 37800 km/h, making it a fascinating subject of study for NASA’s asteroid tracking teams. NASA JPL has classified 2020 UL3 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.

The second asteroid, also known as 2023 WK3, will make its close approach to Earth on 18 November. This one is about 1640 feet wide. Just for reference, the iconic New York Empire State building stands at 1,454 feet. Interestingly, the asteroid is also larger than the Eiffel Tower. It will come within 6.1 million kilometre’s of Earth, slightly farther than 2020 UL3. As indicated in CNEOS’ database, this asteroid is currently moving at a speed of 52200 kilometres per hour.

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.

The third asteroid, temporarily designated as 2006WB, is about to make its closest approach to Earth on 26 November. This asteroid measures approximately 524 feet in diameter and will come within approximately 8 lakh kilometres of our planet at a speed of 15120 km per hour.

NASA, along with other space agencies, is actively monitoring these asteroids to keep track of their paths. Advanced tracking systems allow scientists to watch these space rocks and make sure they don’t pose any risk to Earth. Although these asteroids will come relatively close, they are far enough away to pose no threat. NASA’s tracking confirms that Earth is safe, and the asteroids will continue on their journey through space. These flybys give scientists a valuable chance to study near-Earth objects, but there’s no reason for worry. Earth will remain secure as these asteroids pass by in the coming days.

OK, imagine all the space junk that we have up in the sky all these satellites rotating around and these space stations and then you have now tons of space junk from the SpaceX program just flying around in space and now we’ve got new little moon which I think is a cute name for something it can be dangerous and you’ve got a huge asteroid. What if all of those collide And then decide to hit earth it’s gonna be catastrophic..
The SpaceX program should be cleaning up that space junk garbage is terrible .
Yeah, we didn’t part of the reason why we need to find another place to live because we’re trashing this earth ;(
