NASA's asteroid warning: Will the 84-foot giant get too close for comfort?

Asteroid 2024 XS3 will pass Earth on December 19, 2024, at a safe distance of 2,080,000 miles. While there is no risk of collision, the flyby offers valuable insights into the nature of asteroids and the importance of monitoring near-Earth objects (NEOs). NASA continues to track and study these space rocks, using advanced technology to protect Earth from potential threats. Events like this underline the need for ongoing research into planetary defence and asteroid impact prevention.
