"NASA Captures Images of Stadium-Sized Asteroid Passing Earth"

NASA captured images of the 1,640ft asteroid 2008 OS7 as it passed 1.8 million miles from Earth, using the Goldstone Solar System Radar in California. The asteroid posed no threat to Earth, and scientists used the radar to study its size, rotation, shape, and surface details. While the solar system still contains many asteroids, the likelihood of a catastrophic impact in the next century remains very low.
