NASA alerts of two asteroids nearing Earth earth on January 9. Here's everything you need to know about these celestial visitors.

"NASA's JPL monitors three asteroids, 2024 PT5, 2024 YD13, and 2024 YW9, as they fly past Earth, providing opportunities for scientific research and planetary defense.

The secondary asteroid belt orbits the Sun in a path very similar to Earth's orbit. During its recent mini-moon stint, scientists studied the 2024 PT5 from Earth. Based on the cosmic object's ...

Asteroid 2024 YW9, about the size of a house, and 2024 PT5, the size of a bus, will pass at distances of over a million kilometers from Earth, which, in astronomical terms, is still a safe margin.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is monitoring five asteroids—2024 YA10, 2024 BM1, 2024 PT5, 2024 YD13, and 2024 YW9—approaching Earth.
