Asteroid the size of 6 peacocks to fly close to Earth on Thursday - NASA

Asteroid 2024 DW is the size of around six adult Indian peacocks and will fly within the Moon's orbit of the Earth on February 22, according to NASA.

It is headed towards the earth at the speed of an unladen European swallow since we’re using esoteric measurements now.

First a post about a satellite the size of an adult rhino. Now this.

Did I miss the part in school where metric and imperial were replaced by the Serengeti Standard?
