Asteroids Earth
Tiny bits of asteroids that have flown through our atmosphere and landed on Earths surface. Asteroids range in size with most being small- medium-size asteroids ranging from 300 meters to 600 meters 984 feet to 1968.

The NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft landed on Eros an asteroid near Earth in 2001.
. 2 Passed by outside of atmosphere. Time and again asteroid impacts on Earth have scarred the surface of the blue planet leaving behind massive craters. CNEOS continuously monitors all known near-Earth objects to assess any impact risk they may pose.
The dashboard displays the date of closest approach approximate object diameter relative size and distance from Earth for each encounter. These are called impact events where asteroids coming from space enter the earths atmosphere and collides with the earths surface. At least five asteroids are approaching Earth this January according to NASA.
These objects are defined as asteroids that are more than about 460 feet 140 meters in size with orbits that bring them as close as within 46 million miles 75 million kilometers of Earths orbit around the Sun. Several NASA space missions have also flown by and observed asteroids. 22 Objects 50 meters.
JPL discovered the extraterrestrial objects through its Asteroid Watch dashboard which detects and tracks asteroids and comets that are expected to come in close proximity with Earth. The center has discovered and tracked over 27000 near-Earth objects. The Earth has been hit by large asteroids in the past which is why there are no enormous dinosaurs roaming the planet today.
The objects name is displayed by hovering over its encounter date. Most of this ancient space rubble can be found orbiting the Sun between. And it is bombarded every day by tonnes of dust and meteorites.
11 Closest known per year. 12 Largest per year. The Asteroid Watch dashboard tracks asteroids and comets that will make relatively close approaches to Earth.
21 Objects 50 meters. Asteroids sometimes called minor planets are rocky airless remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system about 46 billion years ago. These impact events may release enough energy which may be equal to a nuclear bomb.
1 Timeline of approaches within one lunar distance. It is certain that a planet killer is written in the future though occurring at most once in 50 million years and this is taken much more seriously by international governments. Scientists can learn about asteroids by studying meteorites.
Most asteroids outside the big four Ceres Pallas Vesta and Hygiea are likely to be broadly similar in appearance if irregular in shape. 50 km 31 mi 253 Mathilde is a rubble pile saturated with craters with diameters the size of the asteroids radius and Earth-based observations of 300 km 186 mi 511 Davida one of the largest.
