In a cosmic reminder of the ever-present watchful eye of astronomers, NASA has flagged an asteroid, named 2024 RV50, that will make a close approach to Earth on October 18, 2024. Measuring approximately 710 feet/216 metres (roughly the length of a stadium),

A large asteroid, roughly the size of a stadium, is set to pass Earth on . Named 2024 RV50, this asteroid measures about 710 feet across.

A massive 710-foot stadium-sized asteroid, 2024 RV50, will make a close approach to Earth tomorrow, October 18.

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is using an advanced tracking system to monitor the orbit of 2024 RV50. According to their calculations, 2024 RV50 is scheduled to pass Earth on October 18 at a speed of 16 km/second at a distance of about 7.

A massive asteroid, roughly the size of a stadium pitch, will pass by Earth on October 17. Named 2024 RV50, the asteroid is about 710 feet wide. It will fly past at a safe distance of 4.6 million miles. Despite its significant size, NASA confirms there is no immediate risk to our planet.

To keep a close eye on this celestial body, NASA is utilising an advanced tracking system at its Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

A big asteroid known as 2024 RV50 is expected to safely make its closest approach to Earth on October 18, 2024. In terms of diameter measurements, it is 710 feet-diameter equivalent to a stadium and will pass by at 4.
