NASA Detects Stadium-Sized Asteroid's Close Flyby

The asteroid 2008 OS7, approximately 500 to 650 feet wide, passed Earth at a safe distance of 1.8 million miles on February 2, 2024.

NASA's radar system captured detailed images of the asteroid 2008 OS7 as it passed by Earth.
The asteroid, initially estimated to be between 650 and 1,640 feet wide, has been revised to approximately 500 to 650 feet.
2008 OS7 rotates at a slow rate, completing one rotation every 29.5 hours.
Classified as 'potentially hazardous' due to its size and proximity, the asteroid poses no direct threat to Earth.
The asteroid will not come this close to Earth again for another 200 years.
