4 large asteroids, including a skyscraper-size 'city killer,' will zoom past Earth in a 12-hour span today (Oct. 24)
Four "potentially hazardous" space rocks, which are between 100 and 580 feet across, will all make their closest approaches to Earth within less than 12 hours of one another on Thursday (Oct. 24). Two of them were only discovered earlier this month.
Big asteroid quartet, including 'city killer,' to approach Earth
In the coming decades, at least two of the asteroids are expected to make an even closer flyby of Earth. 2024 TR6 will return on Aug. 5, 2039, coming within just 1.2 million miles of our planet; and 2024 TP17 will make its comeback on Oct.
