Strange Object Spotted Near Earth’s Orbit A space rock was captured near Earth 🌍. These objects, called asteroids or meteors, travel through space at incredible speeds. Most pass safely, but some enter Earth’s atmosphere, burning up as shooting stars ✨. However, larger ones can be dangerous. History shows that a massive asteroid once caused the extinction of dinosaurs millions of years ago. Each passing rock reminds us how fragile our planet truly is in the vast universe. 🌌 #space #SpaceX #NAS
