Story summary

NASA tracks the bus-sized 2025 VP1, which will pass within 361,000 miles of Earth with no impact.
The asteroid 2025 VC4 will pass Earth at about 1.24 million miles.
A larger asteroid, 3361 Orpheus, measuring about 1,400 feet in diameter, is approaching at 20,000 miles per hour.
These non-threatening passes provide data for NASA's planetary defense strategies, and continuous monitoring helps track potentially hazardous asteroids and refine predictive models.
