NASA has raised concerns about Asteroid 2011 MW1, a massive 380-foot object speeding towards Earth at nearly 29,000 km/h.

Expected to make its closest approach on July 25, it will come within 2.4 million miles of Earth.

Despite its size and proximity, NASA has assured that it poses no immediate threat, as the asteroid’s trajectory has been carefully monitored and it is not considered potentially hazardous, WION has reported.

The space agency continues to track such near-Earth objects, though they are often remnants from the early solar system and can sometimes raise alarm due to their size and speed.
