(153814) 2001 WN5 is a near-Earth asteroid, meaning its orbit brings it closer to Earth than some other objects in our solar system. Discovered in November 2001, this asteroid is estimated to be between 690 and 1500 feet (210 and 450 meters) in diameter. That's about the size of a few American football fields put together, making it a relatively small space rock.
Despite being a near-Earth object, (153814) 2001 WN5 isn't a cause for concern. Astronomers have been tracking this asteroid for over two decades, and its orbit is well-understood. They can predict its path for centuries to come, and current data indicates no danger of it impacting Earth.
