Asteroids approaching Earth always make headlines, and the latest asteroid approach is about to happen soon. The scientists at the American space agency NASA have warned that a 100-foot asteroid is expected to make its closest approach to Earth today.

NASA's asteroid watch page has released a list of five upcoming asteroids, including a giant 100-foot space rock that is set to make a close encounter with Earth.

NASA uses an array of technological equipment, such as ground-based telescopes, radar systems, space-based telescopes, observatories, and much more, to track asteroids.

Here is the list:
