"NASA Warns: 5 Asteroids to Pass Dangerously Close to Earth in Next 48 Hours"

TL;DR Summary
NASA has identified five asteroids that will pass by Earth over the next two days, with the largest ones being the size of a plane. These asteroids are expected to safely fly past our planet without causing any harm. NASA tracks the trajectories of near-Earth objects and classifies any large object within 4.65 million miles of Earth as "potentially hazardous." While the approaching asteroids pose no threat, smaller asteroids can still be dangerous. Space agencies are working on ways to deflect dangerous asteroids, with recent successful tests of redirecting asteroids off course.
