Asteroid 2024 EU4 will pass near Earth on Saturday, March 23.

This was reported by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Ukrinform reports.

According to NASA, the length of the celestial body approaching our planet for the first time is 128 meters.

The distance from it to the Earth will be 7.2 million km. The speed of the asteroid is 101,880 km/h.

If an asteroid approaches Earth at a distance of less than 7.4 million km and its size exceeds 150 m, NASA considers it a “potentially hazardous object.”

Asteroid 2024 EU4 does not fall under both parameters at the same time.

As Ukrinform reported, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) reported that asteroid 2024 BD7 passed near Earth on Tuesday, March 19.
