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. Asteroids arent all round like planets.

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.
. Some asteroids are hundreds of miles in diameter but many more are as small as pebbles. The Asteroid Watch dashboard tracks asteroids and comets that will make relatively close approaches to Earth. 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.
The dashboard displays the date of closest approach approximate object diameter relative size and distance from Earth for each encounter. 10 by 1849 1 Ceres 1801 2 Pallas 1802 3 Juno 1804 4 Vesta 1807 5 Astraea 1845 in 1846 planet Neptune was. At least five asteroids are approaching Earth this January according to NASA.
CNEOS continuously monitors all known near-Earth objects to assess any impact risk they may pose. 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.
The Earth has been hit by large asteroids in the past which is why there are no enormous dinosaurs roaming the planet today. And it is bombarded every day by tonnes of dust and meteorites. Time and again asteroid impacts on Earth have scarred the surface of the blue planet leaving behind massive craters.
Most of this ancient space rubble can be found orbiting the Sun between. These are called impact events where asteroids coming from space enter the earths atmosphere and collides with the earths surface. Scientists estimate that several dozen asteroids in the 612 m 2039 ft size range fly by Earth at a distance closer than the moon every year but only a fraction of these are actually detected.
The center has discovered and tracked over 27000 near-Earth objects. The small near-Earth asteroids 2008 TC 3 2014 AA 2018 LA and 2019 MO are the only four asteroids discovered before impacting into Earth see asteroid impact prediction. 1 Ceres 1801 2 Pallas 1802 3 Juno 1804 4 Vesta 1807 5 Astraea 1845 in 1846 planet Neptune was discovered 6 Hebe July 1847 7 Iris August 1847 8 Flora.
Most asteroids are made of different kinds of rocks but some have clays or metals such as. Here are a few ways that they differ. Asteroids range in size with most being small- medium-size asteroids ranging from 300 meters to 600 meters 984 feet to 1968.
The objects name is displayed by hovering over its encounter date. They have jagged and irregular shapes.
