Every year, Earth passes through several space rocks, some of which end up in orbit. Several of these are Near-Earth Objects and some are Potentially Hazardous Objects. As per NASA, any asteroid bigger than 400 feet can potentially trigger a global catastrophe if it hits Earth. As we approach the end of 2022, five huge asteroids are headed towards Earth and are set to pass us in December 2022, as per NASA’s Centre for Near-Earth Object Studies at its California-based Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The first massive asteroid 2009 HV58 to appear next month, is about 1000-2300 feet in diameter, which is as huge as the world’s tallest manmade structure Burj Khalifa. The asteroid 2009 HV58 was discovered on April 25, 2009. This near-Earth object belongs to the Apollo group. The asteroid 2009 HV58 will fly past Earth on December 02 at a distance of 4.72 million kilometers at a speed of 29 thousand kilometers per second.
Another hazardous asteroid to make a close approach is named as 2017 QL33 and is scheduled to fly past our planet on December 03, according to NASA's CNEOS. It's size is estimated in the range of 475 to 1062 feet. Asteroid 2017 QL33 will pass past Earth at a distance of 6.14 million kilometers at a speed of 7 kilometers per second. It was detected on August 17, 2012. This near-Earth object also belongs to the Apollo group. It makes one orbit around the Sun in 910 days.

On December 20, a massive asteroid 2014 HK129 will come close to earth. The size of this asteroid is approximately 500 to 1184 Feet and it is very huge. The closest distance is approximately 2.57 million kilometers. The distance of the asteroid 2014 HK129 from Earth is currently 20.92 million kilometers, equivalent to 0.14 astronomical units. It will fly past Earth at a distance of 2.57 million kilometers with a whooping speed of 12 kilometers per second.
The fourth huge asteroid to pass this December is 2022 UD9. It's size is estimated in the range of 390 to 900 feet in diameter. The asteroid 2022 UD9 is a potential hazard near-Earth object. It will safely fly past Earth on December 22 at 17:04 at a distance of 1.78 million kilometers at a speed of 10 kilometers per second.
On December 27, asteroid 2010 XC15 will pass by the Earth at a very close distance of 772 thousand kilometers from Earth. Its size varies from 446 to 1000 feet. It is traveling at a distance of 772 thousand kilometers from Earth and at a speed of 10 kilometers per second.
NASA has already assured us that there is no danger of any large space rock striking Earth. In fact, for the next hundred years at least, there is no large space rock on a collision course with Earth.
