A large asteroid called 2006 WB, the size of a football field, will approach Earth.
This was announced by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The asteroid with a length of 97.8 meters will pass by our planet at a distance of 891,241 km. In total, NASA tracks more than 37,000 asteroids to collect information important for research and to prepare for possible threats from deep space.
As a reminder, if an asteroid approaches the Earth at a distance of less than 7.5 million kilometers and if its size exceeds 150 meters, NASA qualifies it as a “potentially dangerous object”.
