Asteroid 2024 XS2 to Pass Closer Than the Moon | WION Podcast

An asteroid named 2024 XS2 is making its closest approach to Earth in the next 10 years, passing just 196,000 km away—about half the distance from the Moon. Discovered in March 2024, this small asteroid will be visible from the southern hemisphere. Its orbit, typical of Apollo asteroids, brings it closer to the Sun than Earth. This flyby follows several recent asteroid encounters, including one over Siberia, highlighting the importance of monitoring near-Earth objects and studying their orbits. Scientists are keeping a close eye on these cosmic visitors for potential future threats. #moon #asteroid #wionpodcast About Channel: WION The World is One News examines global issues with in-depth analysis.
