NASA: 5 asteroids, including 226-foot Asteroid 2023 CC1, to buzz Earth

NASA and other space agencies have been monitoring as many as 5 asteroids which are expected to make close approaches with Earth in the coming days. Know what NASA has revealed about these space rocks.

Asteroid 2023 CA3 – NASA has red-flagged an asteroid named Asteroid 2023 CA3 due to its extremely close approach to the planet. The asteroid, with a width between 32 feet and 75 feet, will make its closest approach to Earth today, February 17 at a distance of 2.2 million kilometers and is already on its way travelling at a speed of nearly 44751 kilometers per hour, which is multiple times faster than the speed of a hypersonic ballistic missile!   (NASA)
