Explanation:
Astronomers announced that the largest asteroid predicted to pass Earth this year will bypass our planet on March 21, making it an opportunity for scientists to study the “potentially hazardous asteroid.” It won’t come closer than 2 million km to Earth, but still, that distance is close in astronomical terms, which is why 2001 FO32 has been designated a “potentially hazardous asteroid”.
