Close 150-foot asteroid to fly by Earth next week
A 150-foot asteroid will pass within about 17,100 miles of Earth next Friday in the closest known flyby for an object of this size. NASA officials say there is no Earth impact risk and that most satellites remain farther away, though tracking alerts are being issued. The finding comes as a study links Deep South diets high in fried foods and sugary drinks to increased stroke risk, especially among Black populations in the Southeast.
