Overnight on March 24-25, 2022, another small asteroid raced toward Earth, unseen until hours before its closest approach.
It passed at a distance of about 5,400 miles (8,700 km). That’s in contrast to the moon’s distance of 238,900 miles (384,000 km).
NASA: Giant asteroid to pay Earth a visit today; it will come horrifically close to our planet | ...
NASA: After a number of asteroids passed very near Earth earlier this week, a new asteroid has appeared on the horizon. This asteroid, which is as big as a house, will be approaching Earth today.
According to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, asteroid 2022 FH is an 18 meters wide asteroid, which is as large as a multi-floored house. The asteroid will make its closest approach to Earth at a distance of 1,580,000 kilometers.
This is NASA's plan to stop asteroid impacts from destroying cities
Considering the size of some of the asteroids out there, it isn’t surprising that NASA and other space agencies are worried about one impacting the Earth. After all, NASA says that an asteroid of at least 460 feet in diameter could destroy an entire city if it hit the planet.
But what exactly are we doing to fight back against these devastating threats? Well, NASA has a few ideas in mind.

The Record Delta | Odd Holidays: Near Miss Day
Near Miss Day, although rather obscure, is celebrated yearly on March 23. The holiday commemorates the day that a large asteroid, named Asclepius, barely missed Earth on Thursday, March 23, 1989.
Asclepius had a diameter of .0431 kilometers, comparable to the size of a football field. According to nationaltoday.com, many geophysicists believe that the collision of Asclepius with the Earth would have wreaked havoc, resulting in the release of energy comparable to a 600-megaton atomic bomb.
