NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has reported that a bus-sized asteroid, named 2024 JP1, is moving towards Earth at a speed of 14,400 kilometers per hour.
The size of this asteroid is about the same as a city bus and is being closely monitored by astronomers who keep an eye on those near-Earth objects (NEOs) that could potentially pose a threat to our planet.
The discovery of 2024 JP1 was made possible by the vigilant efforts of the NEO Monitoring Team, a group dedicated to identifying and cataloging such celestial bodies. Using powerful telescopes and advanced tracking algorithms, they were able to detect this asteroid and calculate its orbit with great accuracy.
