NASA Tracking Three Plane-Sized Asteroids Approaching Earth Today [Video]

NASA is monitoring three aircraft-sized asteroids that will zoom past the Earth later today at around 19,000 to 22,200 miles per hour.

The space rock known as “2025 DL22” will make the closest approach of the three asteroids, soaring past our planet at a distance of about 1.79 million miles, NASA‘s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) said on its website. The asteroid could be anywhere between around 66 to 151 feet in diameter, according to the JPL’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS).

Another plane-sized space rock, known as the “2025 DY5” and measuring about 92 feet across, will zip past our planet this afternoon at a distance of around 2.32 million miles from the Earth.

A subsequent asteroid, known as “2025 DC22” and estimated to be around 76 feet across, is also expected to make a close approach in the early evening today at a distance of about 2.2 million …
