Asteroid size of eight-storey building to pass by earth at 30,000 kmph

A massive asteroid, known as 2024 ME1, is rapidly approaching Earth at an astonishing speed of 30,204 kilometers per hour (km/h). This celestial body, which is approximately 86.76 feet in diameter, is comparable in size to an eight-storey building.
On July 10, 2024, at 14:51 UTC, 2024 ME1 will make its closest approach to Earth, passing by at a distance of roughly 4.35 million kilometers.According to scientific calculations, the asteroid's closest possible distance will be around 4.31 million kilometers, while its farthest point will be approximately 4.39 million kilometers. During this flyby, the asteroid will be moving at an impressive speed of 8.39 kilometers per second or about 30,204 kilometers per hour.
What is an Amor Asteroid?
2024 ME1 belongs to the Amor group of asteroids, which are known for their orbits that come close to Earth's orbit but do not cross it. These asteroids typically orbit the Sun outside of Earth's path, making their close approaches predictable and of interest to astronomers.
December 2027 Close Approach
The next significant approach will occur on December 9, 2027, at 08:26 UTC. During this event, the asteroid will be at a nominal distance of about 68.67 million kilometers from Earth. The closest it could get is approximately 67.39 million kilometers, with the furthest distance being around 71.26 million kilometers. For this encounter, the 2024 ME1 will have an increased speed of 9.31 kilometers per second.
