NASA has issued a new alert regarding a colossal asteroid, 2013 FW13, which is set to pass by Earth on September 18, 2024. The asteroid, roughly 510 feet in diameter—comparable to a skyscraper in height—will make its closest approach at a distance of 2.

Asteroid Apophis, nicknamed the “God of Destruction,” will make a close approach to Earth in April 2029. Although the risk of a direct collision with the planet remains extremely low, new research suggests if smaller asteroids or space rocks strike Apophis, they may potentially alter its trajectory, increasing the chances of hitting the Earth.

NASA confirms asteroid 2013 FW13 will safely pass Earth in 2024, providing a unique opportunity for scientific research.
