Two medium asteroids flutter across the Earth

Two small meteors have just approached the Earth on March 26 but did not pose any threat to the earth, according to the US Space Agency (NASA).

NASA meteorite project scientists said the two small 2012 FP35 and 2012 FS35 meteorites have flown over Earth at very close distances on the evening of March 26 (international time). Both meteors are less than 10m and do not pose any danger.

The 2012 FP35 meteorite, about 9m in size, flew over Earth at a distance of 154,000km. Meanwhile, the 2012 FS35 meteorite, only 3m in size, flew over our planet at a much closer distance - 58,000km.

According to Space.com , the distance of two meteorites compared to Earth yesterday is even closer than the distance from Earth to the Moon. The Moon's orbit is about 382,900km from Earth.

The 2012 FP35 and 2012 FS35 meteorites were first discovered at the end of last week, but scientists have ruled out their influence on Earth. Their size is too small to be completely burned when flying through Earth's atmosphere.

NASA's meteorite project is part of the agency's close-up Earth Tracking Program. NASA scientists and other research groups regularly observe the sky to detect large and dangerous meteorites, to analyze whether they affect Earth.
