NASA says ‘Potentially hazardous’ asteroid 7482 passing by Earth on January 18

The video discusses the size and proximity of asteroids, particularly those larger than the Empire State Building, and their potential impact on Earth. It highlights the energy release of asteroids over 140 meters, which could be 1000 times more than the first atomic bomb, and the catastrophic effects of asteroids over 300 meters. The video also covers specific asteroids, such as 7482, and their distances from Earth, emphasizing that while they are potentially hazardous, the likelihood of impact is low. Upcoming asteroid passes in January are also mentioned, along with calculations from the Davidson Institute of Science.
