In 2020, after the OSIRIS-REx probe reached the asteroid Bennu, it collected a sample from a type of primordial projectile thought to have delivered life’s building blocks to early Earth.

Its size earned the asteroid the nickname “city killer” since it could cause severe damage to a city or region if it struck Earth. 2024 YR4 is the temporary name given to the rock.

The asteroid 2025 OW measures about 210 feet in length. It is reported to pass by Earth on July 28, 2025, at a distance of 393,000 miles, which is about 1.6 times the average distance to the moon.

Doctors urged Miles Yardley to transition at age 15, and he transitioned into a woman named Salomé, according to reports.
