Four potentially dangerous asteroids heading toward Earth could strike today, nasa says. According to nasa, the four asteroids that will come closest to Earth's surface today could cause many changes in the world. Because it's worrying that not one, but four dangerous asteroids are hurtling toward Earth, some of them traveling at the speed of hypersonic ballistic missiles. But in the comforting news, nasa says that some of them will not hit Earth and fly past us. Asteroids are basically the smallest planets in the Solar System and are composed of rock, ice, or metals that do not have an atmosphere. Although most asteroids are similar, their shapes, sizes, and weights vary considerably, ranging in size from an asteroid with 1 million rocks to a dwarf planet nearly 1000 km in diameter. It is noteworthy that one such asteroid has already flown over the Earth in Canada.
