A cosmic visitor will pass near the Earth this Thursday Asteroid 424482 (2008 DG5), with dimensions similar to the Eiffel Tower, will approach 3.49 million kilometers from Earth on June 5. Although the distance is safe, NASA lists it as “potentially dangerous” because of its size, which exceeds 97% of known asteroids. Its overflight is rare and has aroused inte…
This Thursday, June 5, the asteroid 424482 (2008 DG5), classified by NASA as potentially dangerous, will pass to 3,492,853 km from Earth. It is a rocky titan that has an approximate size of 310 to 690 meters, which can be compared with structures such as the San Francisco Golden Gate or the Eiffel Tower. This distance seems to be a fairly high number, representing the distance between Earth and the Moon multiplied by nine, but still it is a quit…
World, 4 June 2025 (ATB Digital). — There are times when the universe approaches us with an almost palpable presence. One of those moments will arrive on Thursday, 5 June, when asteroid 424482 (2008 DG5), a rocky titan with an estimated size between 310 and 690 meters, glide through space on a cosmic overflight to just 3.49 million kilometers from Earth. Although that figure seems overwhelmingly distant — nine times the distance that separates u…
Massive Asteroid 2008 DG5 To Pass Earth Safely On June 5, NASA Confirms
A giant asteroid, larger than San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, is set to fly past Earth on June 5, NASA scientists have confirmed. Known as Asteroid 424482 (2008 DG5), this space rock measures between 1,017 and 2,264 feet (310 to 690 meters) placing it in the top 3% of the largest asteroids ever recorded near our planet. Despite its intimidating size, 2008 DG5 does not pose any danger to Earth. According to Forbes, it will pass at a safe dist…
