NASA has issued an alert for September 4, as three large asteroids are set to pass by Earth. However, there is no reason for concern. According to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), these space rocks will make their closest approaches today, but they do not pose any threat to our planet.

The first asteroid, designated 2024 QE2, is a significant object with a diameter of approximately 120 feet, similar in size to a standard house. It will fly by Earth at a distance of about 2,820,000 million miles. While this distance might sound close in astronomical terms, NASA has assured that there is no risk of impact.

Later on the same day, another asteroid, also named 2024 QE2 but measuring around 36 feet across, will make its approach. This one will come within 464,000 miles of Earth, again posing no danger.

The third asteroid, 2024 RB, is about 35 feet wide, roughly the size of a small jet. It will pass within 734,000 miles of our planet. Despite its relatively close proximity, experts have confirmed that it presents no risk.

NASA and other space agencies will continue to monitor these asteroids as they travel through space. While their passage is an intriguing event that highlights the dynamic nature of our solar system, there is no need for alarm—Earth remains safe.
