The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is closely monitoring a massive asteroid called 2024 ON, which is expected to come close to Earth on Tuesday night. According to data from NASA's Asteroid Watch Dashboard, the rocky object has a diameter of 950 feet, roughly the size of a stadium.

Reaching a distance of approximately 621,000 miles from Earth, 2024 ON will be considered a "potentially hazardous object" due to its proximity. However, NASA has assured that the chances of it actually impacting Earth are highly unlikely.

Despite being one of five asteroids passing by Earth in the next two days, the other four will be considerably farther away. These four asteroids will be between 1.1 and 3.9 million miles from Earth, with three of them measuring around 51 feet in diameter, equivalent to the size of a house. The largest among them, named 2013 FW13, has a diameter of approximately 510 feet and is scheduled to pass by Earth on Wednesday.

NASA's Asteroid Watch Dashboard serves as a monitoring system for tracking asteroids and comets making relatively close approaches to our planet. The dashboard provides crucial information such as the date of closest approach, approximate object diameter, relative size, and distance from Earth for each encounter.

As of Tuesday morning, 2024 ON was traveling at an astonishing speed of 8.8 kilometers per second, equivalent to nearly 20,000 miles per hour. NASA's website explains that the dashboard displays the next five Earth approaches within 4.6 million miles, which is about 19.5 times the distance to the moon. An object larger than approximately 150 meters that can come within this distance is categorized as a potentially hazardous object.

Fox News Digital has reached out to NASA for further information regarding the asteroid and its trajectory. NASA continues to monitor the situation closely and provide updates on any potential threats or changes in the asteroid's path.

While an intriguing astronomical event, experts assure the public that there is no immediate cause for concern as 2024 ON is expected to safely pass by Earth without causing any harm.
