MerahPutih.com – NASA issued a warning about two large asteroids approaching Earth, with the closest approach occurring on October 30, 2024, and continuing to approach.
Although the space agency regularly monitors space objects, these two asteroids attracted attention because of their size and the very close distance they passed.
Important information about the two Asteroids
The first asteroid, called 2023 XY, has a diameter of about 58 meters, equivalent to the size of a commercial airplane. At the same time, the second asteroid, named 2023 XR, with a diameter of about 82 meters, falls into the category of larger near-Earth objects.

Despite their size, NASA has confirmed that these two asteroids will remain at a safe distance from Earth.
Safe distance: No need to panic
Although these two asteroids will be very close on an astronomical scale, they will pass several million kilometers from Earth.
NASA’s ongoing study of near-Earth objects (NEOs) allows them to assess and predict the path of the asteroid, so no impacts or threats from these two asteroids are expected today.
