NASA warns of football pitch sized asteroid heading towards Earth

22-02-2021 11:29

NASA is warning of a salvo of space rocks headed for Earth, ranging in size from an insignificant 10 meters in diameter all the way up to a positively petrifying and dangerous 213 in size.

While it is not keeping a close eye on its Perseverance rover, which touched down on Mars this week, NASA is busy monitoring the sky for potential threats to life on Earth - namely asteroids. And this week is no exception, as five such space rocks are due to buzz the planet we call home.

On Sunday, Feb. 21, the 10-meter asteroid 2021 DD1 and the 61-meter asteroid 2021 DK1 will shoot past Earth at a safe distance of 1.6 million kilometres and six million kilometres, respectively.
