NASA is monitoring a bus-sized asteroid that is zipping towards our planet at more than 18,300 miles per hour, according to the Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS).

The asteroid, known as “2025 VP1”, measures around 37 feet in diameter and is expected to come as close as around 361,000 miles from the Earth on Tuesday, according to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

2025 VPI is not the only space rock being tracked by NASA this week. The agency is also monitoring “2025 VC4,” another bus-sized asteroid, that's projected to make its closest approach at around 1.24 million miles from our planet on Tuesday.

And abridge-sized asteroid called “3361 Orpheus (1982 HR)”—measuring around 1,400 feet in diameter—is expected to pass the Earth at around 20,000 miles per hour on Wednesday
