NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) has tracked Asteroid 2019 KK5, a 310-foot Near-Earth Asteroid, which is set to pass Earth at a distance of 4 million kilometers today at a speed of 75,328 kilometers per hour. Although it's classified as a Near-Earth Asteroid, it is not considered potentially hazardous as it does not meet the size and proximity criteria. This Apollo group asteroid, which is not expected to impact Earth, has passed by our planet before and is not predicted to do so again in the near future.
