620ft tower-sized asteroid approaching Earth at high speed: NASA

Asteroid 2024 JV33 belongs to a class of near-Earth objects (NEOs) that are closely monitored by NASA and other space agencies due to their proximity to our planet. 

The asteroid is traveling at an impressive speed of approximately 30,000 miles per hour (48,280 kilometers per hour). This high velocity is typical for objects in space, but it highlights the importance of tracking such NEOs to ensure they pose no threat to Earth.

NASA’s alert about 2024 JV33 emphasizes the need for continued vigilance in monitoring near-Earth objects. The agency uses advanced telescopes and radar systems to track the paths of these objects with great precision. In the case of 2024 JV33, NASA’s calculations confirm that there is no risk of collision with Earth during this pass. However, the asteroid’s size and speed make it a subject of significant interest for scientists and researchers
