Near-Earth objects will continue to be tracked by NASA on a daily basis as part of its ongoing planetary defense operations. Astronomers and space enthusiasts are currently on their eyes for three relatively close asteroids that are streaking past our planet. The term asteroid might be frightening, but it doesn't mean those space rocks are threatening the planet—astronomers are closely monitoring them, they say. The flybys offer the scientists the opportunity to gain insight into the behaviour of asteroids, optimize tracking and better understand the movement of objects in our cosmic neighbourhood.
