Get ready, as 14 Asteroids are coming towards Earth in the next 3 days; details

September has been a busy month for Asteroid watchers, but as the month comes to an end it is getting even more interesting. A total of fourteen Asteroids are on their way to Earth in the next three days. While none of them are directly lined up with Earth's orbit, things can change. To avoid any catastrophic asteroid hit, NASA's DART mission is scheduled to bomb the Dimorphos asteroid as a test.

List of asteroids approaching in the next three days

At a size of approximately 18 to 41 meters in diameter, NEO 2022 SE6 belongs to the Apollo Group. This asteroid will pass past Earth at a distance of 3.03 million kilometers at a speed of 39600 kmph or 11km per second.

2022 SY2 was spotted on September 19, 2022, and belongs to the Apollo group. With an approximate size ranging between 34m to 77meters, the 2022 SY2 is quite large, yet it is not a potential hazard to our planet. The distance of the asteroid 2022 SY2 from Earth is currently 7.31 million kilometers and Light takes 24 seconds to travel from the asteroid 2022 SY2 and arrive at us. Asteroid 2022 SY2 will be passing us on 27th at a distance of 7.21 million kilometers flying at a speed of 46800km per hour or 13km per second.

Belonging to the Amor group of Near Earth Objects, the asteroid 2022 SE2 is approximated to be between 30m to 66m in size. At 9.88 million kilometers from Earth, the asteroid poses no danger and will be flying past us on 27th September at a speed of 46800km per hour or 13km per second.

This Apollo group Near Earth Object, with an approximate size between 24m to 53m is will be flying past Earth on the 28th from a distance of 6.89 million kilometers. Non-hazardous due to the distance from Earth, Light takes 24 seconds to travel from the asteroid 2022 ST3 and arrive to us. The asteroid 2022 ST3 will be flying at a speed of 64800 km per hour or 18 km per second.

This near-earth object belongs to the Apollo group again. Currently located at a distance of 4.16 million km from Earth, Asteroid 2022 SD4 will be flying past us on 28th September at a distance of 4.14 million kilometers. With a size ranging between 14m to 31m, non-hazardous asteroid 2022 SD4 will be flying at a speed of 57600 km per hour or 16 km per second.

With an estimated size ranging between 39m to 87m, the asteroid 2022 SP4 is larger than others, however, located at a distance of 6.28 million kilometers its non-hazardous to Earth. This Apollo group asteroid will be flying past us on 28th September from a distance of 5.97 million kilometers with a speed of 46800km per hour or 13 km per second.

This non-hazardous near-earth object is estimated to be between 20-45meters in size. Currently located at a distance of 5.55 million kilometers from Earth, Light takes 18 seconds to travel from the asteroid 2022 SO4 and arrive at us. Flying at a speed of 39600km per hour, asteroid 2022 SO4 will be flying past us from a distance of 5.22 million kilometers on the 28th of September.

Belonging to the Amor group of near-earth objects, asteroid 2022 SP1 is estimated to be between 15m-33m in size. Currently located at 7.36 million kilometers from Earth, its orbit is non-hazardous to us earthlings. Light from 2022 SP1 takes 24 seconds to reach us. On Sept 28th, 2022 SP1 will be flying past us at a distance of 7.29 kilometers while traveling at speed of 18000km per hour.

With a size estimated to be between 227meters to 508 meters, the asteroid 406213 (2007 AB2) is categorized as 'Potentially hazardous', however, it is currently location at 8.64 million kilometers away from Earth. The asteroid 406213 (2007 AB2) will be flying past us from 8.35 million kilometers away at speed of 36000 km per hour. This near earth object is classified as a 'Potential hazard' because of its size and relatively proximity to Earth, however there is a safe distance between our planet and Asteroid 406213 (2007 AB2).

Currently at 9.29 million kilometers from Earth, Asteroid 2022 RC5 is estimated to be between 66m to 149m in size. Part of the Apollo group of NEOs, Asteroid 2022 RC5 will be flying past our planet on 29th September from a distance of 8.58 million kilometers with a speed of 57600km per hour or 16 km per second.

Another one from the Apollo group of NEOs, Asteroid 2022 ST7 is estimated to be around 22m to 50m in size. With a non-hazardous orbit, the Asteroid 2022 ST7 will be flying past us on 29th September from a distance of 4.14 million kilometers while flying at a speed of 18000km per hour.

Much smaller at a size estimated to be between 14-31 meters, Asteroid 2022 SZ is non-hazardous and located 5.52 million kilometers away currently. Light takes 18 seconds to travel from the asteroid 2022 SZ and arrive to us. This celestial body will be flying past us on 29th September from a distance of 5.24 million kilometers, with a speed of 25200km per hour.

Traveling at a speed of 21600km per hour, asteroid 2022 SR1 is currently 4.87 million kilometers from Earth. Its size is estimated to be between 18-41 meters, and with a non-hazardous orbit asteroid 2022 SR1 will be flying past us on 29th from a distance 4.64 million kilometers.

Belonging to the Aten group of NEOs, asteroid 2016 HF2 was discovered on April 25, 2016. This 16-36 meters wide asteroid is currently at 7.47 million kilometers away from Earth with a non-hazardous orbit. Flying at a speed of 21600Km per hour, the asteroid 2016 HF2 will fly by our planet on 29th September from a distance of 7.34 million kilometers. Next year again, asteroid 2016 HF2 will return to cross our planet's orbit, however, it will be at 15.92 million kilometers away at the time.
