"Multiple Large Asteroids Set for Close Encounters with Earth, NASA Assures Safety"
The car-sized asteroid 2024 GJ2 will make an extremely close, harmless pass by Earth today, coming within 7,641 miles (12,298 kilometers) of the planet. Measuring between 2.5 and 5 meters (8.2 and 16 feet), it poses no threat and would have burned up in the atmosphere if its orbit intersected with Earth's more directly. This close approach is a rare event, with the next one not expected until 2093, when the asteroid will pass at a much greater distance.
