NASA Reveals Images of Large Asteroids That Just Sailed Past Earth

Last week, Earth witnessed a rare celestial event with the close passing of two sizable asteroids, named 2024 MK and 2011 UL21.

Although neither posed a threat, both came close enough to be captured by radar imaging systems, providing NASA with valuable snapshots.

These images serve more than just commemorative purposes—they offer scientists crucial insights into the composition and behavior of near-Earth asteroids.

Understanding these properties is essential for developing strategies to mitigate potential future threats from asteroids that may one day approach our planet.

While our solar system’s vicinity around Earth is largely empty, occasional asteroids and comets pass through.

Most pose no danger, but those within a certain proximity or brightness are categorized as potentially hazardous due to the unpredictable nature of orbital dynamics, Science Alert has reported.
