Story summary

NASA is closely monitoring two asteroids zooming past Earth today. The larger one, 2025 DU2, is a hefty 150 feet wide and hurtling through space at an astonishing 38,922 mph, safely missing us by 337,000 miles. Meanwhile, the smaller 2025 EW1 is also in the vicinity, but NASA assures us that the chances of a collision remain extremely low, as small asteroids often enter our atmosphere harmlessly.
