ETH – October 14, 2021<\/p>\n

Several asteroids bigger than the Great Pyramid of Giza will closely pass by Earth in the upcoming weeks, including one this week. According to data from NASA\u2019s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies, the asteroid 2021 SM3, which was discovered just last month, will pass by our planet on Friday.<\/p>\n

The diameter of the asteroid is up to 525 feet, just bigger than the 482-foot long Great Pyramid of Giza. An object of that size would be enough to \u201ccause local damage to the impact area\u201d if it were to hit Earth.<\/p>\n

2021 SM3 is classified as a near-Earth object, which NASA says \u201care comets and asteroids that have been nudged by the gravitational attraction of nearby planets into orbits that allow them to enter the Earth\u2019s neighborhood.\u201d The bodies are anything that comes within 120 million miles of Earth.<\/p>\n

At its closest point, the asteroid will be about 3.6 million miles from Earth. Though that sounds like a safe distance, it\u2019s much closer than our neighbor Venus, which can be 74.8 million miles away depending on each planet\u2019s orbit. 2021 SM3 won\u2019t be the only large asteroid that passes by Earth soon.<\/p>\n

Seven asteroids bigger than SM3 will come close to our planet by the end of November. Of all the recently approaching asteroids, 1996 VB3 will be the closest to Earth at 2.1 million miles on Oct. 20. That asteroid has a diameter of up to 754 feet.<\/p>\n
