Dec 22, 2024, 04:52 PM
NASA has reported that an asteroid designated 2024 YP, approximately the size of Santa's nine reindeer, will safely pass Earth on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2024. The asteroid is expected to come within 990,000 kilometers of Earth, a distance that poses no threat to the planet. This event has garnered attention as it coincides with the festive season, although there have been concerns raised about a larger 120-foot asteroid that may come alarmingly close to Earth around the same time. However, NASA has confirmed that the 2024 YP asteroid will not impact Earth.
