Three Large, Near-Earth Asteroids, Two of Which Measure About 20 km in diameter The Largest Asteroids to Have Been Discovered in 23 Years

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Last week, scientists in MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences helped characterize three large, near-Earth asteroids, two of which measure about 12 miles in diameter — the largest asteroids to have been discovered in 23 years. The smallest of the three asteroids measures little more than a mile across, but it may pass within 3.4 million miles of Earth, making it a “potentially hazardous asteroid.”
