Next month, the distance between the cosmic body and the Earth will be even less than the distance between our planet and the Moon, reports NASA. NASA’s asteroid tracking agency is currently monitoring two space rocks that are currently headed for Earth. Asteroid 2002 NN4 is estimated to be 250-570 meters (820-1,870 feet) in diameter, according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Dubbed the Discovery Mission, it will arrive at Psyche 16 around 2026. Named Asteroid 2002 PZ39, NASA said the asteroid is coming towards our Earth at a speed of over 35,500mph or 57,240 km/h and measures 3,280 feet (one kilometer) across. The asteroid, which was named 2011, reaches 49 meters in diameter. Nasa is launching a mission to probe the asteroid in summer 2022. NASA estimates the rock is travelling at speeds of about 8.7km per second or 19,461mph (31,320kmh). A large asteroid will fly close to but won't hit Earth next month, according to NASA data. At this rate, the asteroid will make a close approach to Earth on April 29.

An asteroid is approaching our planet, which has been classified as potentially dangerous.

US space agency NASA reports that an asteroid large enough to kill millions of people will pass by our Earth on Saturday, February 15.
