Objects move at a speed that is 12 times the speed of sound.



Three asteroids have received designations: 2022 SE6, 2022 SR4, and 2022 SY4. The Jerusalem Post writes about it.

The first two asteroids - 2022 SE6 and 2022 SR4 - have approximately the same estimated diameter: from 18 to 41 meters wide.

For comparison: both asteroids with a height of 41 meters will be slightly more minor than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

Asteroids will fly past Earth on Monday, September 26, according to NASA's Asteroid Tracking System.

It is the 2022 SY4 that will fly closest to Earth, at a distance of just over 900,000 kilometers from Earth.

According to NASA, asteroids do not pose a threat to humanity.
