The US space agency NASA said it is tracking an asteroid the size of a house that is passing by Earth at a speed of 68,075 kilometers per hour.

According to NASA, the trajectory of the asteroid known as “2025 HM4” has brought it to a cosmically small distance of 757,000 kilometers from Earth, “Newsweek” reported today.

NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies estimates the asteroid’s diameter to be between 16 and 33 meters.

“2025 HM4” is not the only space rock approaching Earth this week.

NASA is also tracking two airplane-sized asteroids – “2024 BF” and “2025 GT1”, with diameters of about 33 to 43 meters, which will fly by Earth today at a distance of about 3.5 to 4.2 million kilometers.
