The asteroid will move at a speed of 41689 kilometres per hour, which is nearly 3 times the speed of a hypersonic ballistic missile
Colossal 680-foot asteroid to come extremely close to Earth today!
Though most asteroids are found in a ring between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter, called the asteroid belt, that doesn't mean they've never come close to Earth. In fact, some space rocks have made their way towards Earth in the past.
A colossal 680 feet wide asteroid named Asteroid 2014 HK129 is expected to zoom past Earth today, December 20. In fact, this stadium-sized asteroid is already on its way towards Earth, travelling at a staggering speed of 41689 kilometers per hour.

What's in an asteroid | MIT Technology Review
MIT researchers have developed a way to map an asteroid's interior structure, or density distribution, by analyzing how the asteroid's spin changes as it makes a close encounter with more massive objects like Earth.
Knowing what's inside an asteroid could help scientists plan the most effective defense.
When a gigantic 6.4-km asteroid broke and pieces crashed on Earth | Tech News
Just a few days ago, the Earth witnessed the Geminids meteor shower where the Earth annually passes by the debris left behind by the asteroid 3200 Phaethon.
The study theorizes that it belongs to the asteroid belt present between Mars and Jupiter. The region is filled with asteroids that revolve around the Sun in their independent orbits.

The 10 biggest science stories of 2022 – chosen by scientists | Science | The Guardian
From moon missions to fast-charging batteries and AI-sourced antibiotics, in no particular order, the year's significant scientific developments
Vaccine technology has seen an unprecedented acceleration in innovation that could soon be benefiting us in a host of ways. A vaccine works by delivering an "infection" signal (something from the germ) and an "alert" signal (to wake the immune response up).
Dart: Asteroid deflection experiment boosted by debris
The Nasa probe that struck an asteroid in September to try to deflect its path had a bigger effect because of all the debris it kicked out.
The Dart mission slammed into egg-shaped Dimorphos to demonstrate how hazardous rocks posing a threat to the Earth could be moved out of the way.
