Asteroid the size of 6 peacocks to fly close to Earth on Thursday - NASA

Asteroid 2024 DW is the size of around six adult Indian peacocks and will fly within the Moon's orbit of the Earth on February 22, according to NASA.

It is headed towards the earth at the speed of an unladen European swallow since we’re using esoteric measurements now.
