Like previous months, we've seen numerous asteroids fly past Earth in recent weeks. These space rocks come close to the planet when they interact with the gravitational field of a large planet like Jupiter. This entanglement knocks asteroids off their orbits and sends them hurtling towards a planet, raising a potential impact scenario. With the help of its advanced ground and space-based telescopes and satellites, NASA has shed light on an asteroid that is expected to pass Earth by a close margin today, March 12.

The asteroid has been given the designation of Asteroid 2015 FM34 by NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS). The space rock is travelling in its orbit at a blistering speed of around 39837 kilometers per hour, which is even faster than Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs)! As per the US Space Agency, this asteroid will come as close as 7.4 million kilometers to Earth today, March 12.
NASA says that although Asteroid 2015 FM34 will come close to Earth and has been designated as a Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA), it is not likely to impact the surface. That said, it is quite big when compared to other asteroids that fly past the planet frequently. In terms of size, the asteroid is nearly 350 feet wide, making it almost as big as a building.
Asteroid 2015 FM34 belongs to the Apollo group of Near-Earth Asteroids, which are Earth-crossing space rocks with semi-major axes larger than Earth's. These asteroids are named after the humongous 1862 Apollo asteroid, discovered by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth in the 1930s.

Asteroid 2024 CL3 has passed Earth before. It first flew past the planet on April 24, 1946, at a distance of almost 72 million kilometers. NASA says that after today, this asteroid will come close again on March 17, 2027, and it will pass the planet by a distance of 7.2 million kilometers. Thus, it is imperative to keep an eye on these asteroids to minimize the uncertainties around their close approaches.

LEVEL-5’s soccer RPG series Inazuma Eleven will make its PlayStation debut later this year, when new entry Victory Road arrives. But before then, a crossplay beta test will kick-off around the world, giving fans their first taste of the title. Said beta will launch first on Nintendo Switch from 28th March, but while there’s no date attached to the PlayStation version, we probably won’t have to wait long.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory continuously provide details of asteroid approaches. Yesterday, on March 28, it predicted three asteroids to pass Earth very close to it. Today, another batch of asteroids is on its way and is set to pass our planet. Keeping track of celestial objects such as asteroids and comets is necessary to protect Earth from the potential danger of impact which could lead to significant damage. Today, three asteroids are projected to pass Earth in close proximity. From size to speed, know all about these close approaches.
Just yesterday, 3 asteroids passed Earth by a close margin. While none of them were considered “Potentially Hazardous Asteroids”, the biggest of them was 150 feet wide, making it almost as big as an aircraft. Such close approaches by celestial objects such as asteroids and comets serve as a reminder of the dangerous potential they possess and the need to continuously monitor their trajectories. NASA, with the help of its advanced ground and space-based satellites, has shed light on three asteroids that are expected to pass Earth today, March 28.
Planning vacations just got easier with Google's latest update. Now, you can use artificial intelligence (AI) to create travel itineraries for your trips. Google announced this new feature, called Search Generative Experience (SGE), which helps users plan their journeys using AI. It gathers ideas from various websites, along with reviews and photos from users, to suggest attractions, restaurants, flights, and hotels for your trip.
Earth has been impacted by multiple celestial phenomena in the last few weeks. Along with the vernal equinox, the peak of the solar cycle 25 is approaching which has led to increased solar activity. Additionally, we've also seen numerous asteroid approaches. While these space rocks do not pose a danger like solar storms, they pass Earth very closely, making it imperative to monitor them to predict any potential collision scenarios. With its advanced tech, NASA has shed light on a 150-foot asteroid that is expected to pass Earth by a narrow margin today, March 27.
In the last few weeks, we've seen asteroids pass by Earth on multiple occasions. Although these space rocks revolve around the Sun in their own orbit, interaction with a planet's gravitational field can knock them off course and bring them closer to Earth, as per NASA. These encounters can knock asteroids out of the main belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, and send them tumbling in all directions across the orbits of the other planets. NASA now says that as many as two asteroids have been spotted travelling towards Earth in their orbit and are expected to pass by the planet tomorrow, March 27.
Last night, IGN posted a news piece about how Undawn, a free-to-play survival game starring Will Smith as some kind of apocalypse pal called Trey, has been a massive flop. Released in June 2023 for mobile and PC, Undawn had an allegedly huge budget, according to Reuters sources, but which only brought in under $300K last month, as estimated by research firm Appamgic. And on hearing this news everyone went: "Sorry, what are you talking about?"
OpenAI's generative AI chatbot ChatGPT has gained immense popularity since its launch in November 2022. The company developed a large language model (LLM) called GPT which powers ChatGPT. Currently, the tool is powered by GPT-4, enabling it to generate responses based on user prompts. Now, OpenAI is speculated to launch GPT-5 in the coming months which is expected to be the biggest ChatGPT upgrade till now. If you have been using the tool with its premium version, check out what the upcoming LLM may bring to ChatGPT.
NASA says as many as four asteroids passed Earth yesterday, with the biggest of them being nearly 140 feet wide, which is comparable to an aircraft in size. These close approaches by Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) like asteroids serve as a reminder of the constant threat posed by celestial objects and why it is crucial to monitor their trajectories. Using its advanced space and ground-based telescopes, NASA has revealed that another asteroid is expected to fly past Earth tomorrow, March 22. Know all about this close encounter.
In the last few days, we've seen numerous asteroids come close to Earth. Just yesterday, as many as four space rocks passed the planet by a close margin. Although none of them impacted the surface, their close approaches are a reminder of the need to constantly monitor these asteroids for potential impact scenarios. This job falls to NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies or CNEOS, an organization that keeps an eye on Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) such as asteroids and comets. With the help of its advanced tech, NASA says an aircraft-sized asteroid is expected to pass by Earth today, March 20. Know all about this close encounter.
NASA says as many as four asteroids passed Earth yesterday and all of them did so by close distances. The biggest of them was Asteroid 2024 BD7 which had a width of almost 140 feet, making it almost as big as an aircraft. Now, the US Space Agency has revealed that just one asteroid has been tracked in its orbit which will make its closest approach to Earth today, March 19. However, it is bigger than all of the asteroids that passed the planet yesterday! From size, speed to distance of approach, know all about this building-sized asteroid.
