BEWARE! 65-foot asteroid set to get dangerously close to Earth today, warns NASA - HT Tech

That is why before the Artemis-1 mission, which is aiming to send crewed spacecraft back to the Moon to explore its polar region, NASA took up the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) where a spacecraft was used to change the path of an asteroid.

The 65-foot asteroid will be coming as close as 4 million kilometers to the Earth.

However, the prediction by NASA at the moment is that there is little chance that 2022 UD72 will strike the Earth.

Ever since NASA understood the risk of the near-Earth objects (NEO), it has dedicated itself to track and monitor as many space rocks in the inner circle of the solar system as possible.
