Asteroid 2024 KA1 to Pass Close to Earth Today at High Speed

NASA’s Centre for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) has reported that a 99-foot asteroid, designated as 2024 KA1, is rapidly approaching Earth at 29,961 km/h.

NASA projected to reach its nearest point to our planet at 16:36 IST, within 1.8 million kilometres. While this may seem like a considerable distance, it is relatively close by astronomical standards.

Categorized within the Apollo group of asteroids, 2024 KA1 is not seen as a direct threat to Earth. Most near-Earth objects (NEOs) are considered safe, but a specific group, known as potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs), demands closer observation. PHAs are large, over 460 feet, and within 7.5 million km of Earth.

En nuestro entorno cósmico hay más de 10 000 asteroides que regularmente se acercan peligrosamente a la Tierra. El Centro de Estudios de Objetos Cercanos a la Tierra (CNEOS) de la NASA ha identificado a los 5 más peligrosos conocidos. https://t.co/nwpGXialpT

NASA, a global network of observatories, and professional and amateur astronomers regularly monitor such objects, helping to predict their paths. Projects like the Goldstone Solar System Radar Group at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory also contribute, detailing NEOs’ composition and trajectory.

In the coming days, Earth will experience several near encounters with asteroids. Following 2024 KA1, the 84-foot asteroid 2024 LC will pass about 4,703,168 km away. On June 11, 2024, two more asteroids will approach: the 67-foot 2024 LD and the much larger 1,400-foot 2024 CR9, passing within 4,635,552 km and 7,371,520 km of Earth, respectively. These, too, are not considered immediate threats.
