Asteroid tracker: A NASA asteroid will come as close as the Moon tomorrow – Will it hit?

NEOs, on the other hand, are all asteroids and comets that orbit the Sun from a cosmically small distance.

NASA said: “An NEO includes any asteroid, meteoroid or comet orbiting the Sun within 18,600,000 miles (30 million km) of Earth’s orbit.”

Occasionally, NASA said NEOs of various sizes strike the planet.

A car-sized asteroid is estimated to hit our homeworld at least once a year.
