The asteroid crashing into the earth is the plot of many science fiction stories. Although it is not common, it may indeed bring devastating disasters. The United States Space Agency (NASA) said that in December this year, an asteroid about the size of the Eiffel Tower in Paris will pass the earth and has been classified as a “potentially dangerous” asteroid.
- In December this year, an asteroid about the size of the Eiffel Tower in Paris will pass by the Earth
- The travel distance of asteroid 4660 is about 10 times the distance from the moon to the earth, which will not pose a threat to human habitation
- In operation in February 2060, it will only be only 75 kilometers away from the earth

According to foreign media reports, “Asteroid 4660” (4660 Nereus) is about 330 meters long, about 3 football fields long, or about the same height as the Eiffel Tower, and larger than 90% of asteroids. NASA stated that asteroid 4660 will pass 2.4 million miles (about 3.84 million kilometers) from Earth on December 11.
Although the travel distance of the asteroid 4660 is about 10 times the distance from the moon to the earth, it will not pose a threat to human habitation, but in the future, the travel distance of the asteroid will get closer and closer to the earth. In the next 175 years, NASA It is estimated that the asteroid 4660 will have 12 close contacts with the Earth, and the second is estimated to occur in March 2031. During its operation in February 2060, it will only be only 75 kilometers away from the Earth.
The asteroid group will also orbit the sun and fly over the earth in the process of orbiting. Although the asteroid 4660 has been discovered for a long time, it has not yet launched a space mission to the asteroid because of the distance.
