Most asteroids are found in a ring between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter called the Asteroid Belt. These celestial objects are the remains of the period during which our solar system formed, over 4.6 billion years ago. Asteroids regularly fly past Earth at safe distances although NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office still classifies them as Potentially Hazardous Objects due to their close proximity with Earth with the help of its WISE telescope.NASA has alerted that at least 5 asteroids are expected to make a close approach ...
