As NASA considers objects larger than 150 meters and which approach Earth within a distance of 7.5 million kilometers to be 'potentially hazardous', the seven-meter-wide – or 'bus-size', as the agency puts it – Asteroid 2014 YE15 is not regarded as a major threat. The end of the year will also be marked by a seemingly greater danger passing by from space – on December 29, an approximately 149-meter-wide asteroid will come much closer to Earth, within 3,540,000km. Asteroids appear in relative proximity to the planet every couple of days, and NASA monitors their movement and regularly updates a list of the next five asteroid approaches. This,
