A skyscraper-size asteroid flew closer to Earth than the moon
Last week, an asteroid with the size of a 20-story building came remarkably close to Earth, passing by at a distance approximately one-fourth of the space between Earth and the moon.
Surprisingly, astronomers only noticed its presence two days later.
Now designated as 2023 NT1, this space rock is about 200 feet wide (60 meters) and cruised past our planet on July 13, traveling at an estimated speed of 53,000 mph (86,000 km/h), according to NASA.
The asteroid’s approach went undetected because it approached Earth from the direction of the sun, causing telescopes to be blinded by our star’s glare, Live Science reported.
