On Tuesday, November 26, 2024, asteroid 2006 WB, with a diameter of 302 feet, will pass by Earth at 554,000 miles. This distance is roughly twice that between the Earth and the Moon. Asteroid 2006 WB is classified as a "near-Earth object" (NEO).

NASA reports that a massive 300-foot asteroid named 2006 WB is set to pass close to Earth on November 26, just in time for Thanksgiving. Traveling at impressive speeds, scientists anticipate gathering vital data during this extraordinary event.

On November 26, roughly 100-meter-wide asteroid 2006 WB will safely fly by Earth at a distance of 2.3 lunar miles. A tiny asteroid called 2024 PT5 recently made a brief "mini moon" orbit around Earth

Asteroid 2006 WB, about 100 meters wide, will pass by Earth on November 26 at a safe distance of 2.3 lunar distances. This close approach allows astronomers to study the asteroid, which is one of many near-Earth objects providing valuable insights into our solar system.

On Tuesday, November 26, asteroid 2006 WB, with a diameter of 92 metres, will pass by Earth at 892,000 kilometres, roughly twice the distance between the Earth and the Moon. Asteroid 2006 WB, which is 92 metres in diameter,

Asteroid 2006 WB will zoom by Earth on Tuesday, and astronomers say it’s one of nearly 40,000 near-Earth objects (NEO), which is not even the most exciting. Lowell Observatory astronomer and asteroid expert Nick Moskovitz said we know little about this asteroid coming by so close to Thanksgiving.
