A 100-feet wide asteroid just passed Earth, but there is another space rock on the way and it is set to make quite a scary encounter with our planet. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has issued an alert about a small yet dangerous asteroid speeding towards Earth.
As per the asteroid tracking data, Asteroid 2023 HV5 will fly past the Earth on May 3 at an uncomfortably close distance - just 270,000 miles! The distance is almost the average distance between Earth and Moon which is about 239,000 miles.
