Three asteroids on collision course: NASA warns of giant space rocks approaching Earth today

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is tracking three asteroids—2018 QE, 2024 TD3, and 2024 TK3—passing Earth today, October 9. While none pose a threat, their proximity offers scientists opportunities for valuable research. These asteroids range from bus-sized to airplane-sized, with distances of up to 2,350,000 kilometers from Earth. Monitoring these space objects enhances our understanding of their movement and composition, demonstrating NASA's commitment to planetary safety and research.
