An asteroid will be at its closest to Earth on March 21 and is expected to be the largest asteroid that will pass by us in 2021. According to NASA, this asteroid, dubbed 2001 FO32, will make its closest approach at a distance of about 1.25 million miles (2 million kilometers). At such a great distance, it will have no impact on Earth. “We know the orbital path of 2001 FO32 around the Sun very accurately, since it was discovered 20 years ago and has been tracked ever since,” said Paul Chodas, director of the Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), in a statement. “There is no chance the asteroid will get any closer to Earth than 1.25 million miles.” Still, 2001 FO32 is considered a “potentially hazardous asteroid.” CNEOS computes high-precision orbits for near-Earth objects (NEOs) to improve long-term hazard assessments. 2001 FO32 will be traveling at around …
