NASA Reports Plane-Sized Asteroid Nearing Earth
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. NASA is monitoring an airplane-sized asteroid that is expected to zoom past the Earth on July 28 at a zippy 46,908 miles per hour. The space rock—known as 2025 OW—is estimated to be about 210 feet across and will make its closest approach to our next Monday, at a distance of around 393,000 miles, according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). But 2025 OW isn't the only asteroid approaching us in the coming days. NASA is also tracking another airplane-sized space rock known as 2025 OX, which is estimated to be about 110 feet across, and will fly past the Earth on July 26 at a distance of 2,810,000 miles. Three more aircraft-sized space rocks are also expected to pass by Earth in the next few weeks. On July 28, asteroid 2018 BE5 will make its closest approach at a distance of just 2,580,000 miles; 2025 OR will pass within 3,040,000 miles on July 31; and, next month, 2019 CO1 will get within 4,240,000 miles of our home.

They are mainly concentrated within the main asteroid belt, orbiting around the sun between the paths of Mars and Jupiter, though some may end up in the inner solar system. Asteroids of various sizes can pose different levels of threat to our planet. Small ones around 30 feet impact Earth about once in a decade, causing a very bright fireball, and a strong sonic boom. They may sometimes also break nearby windows. Space rocks measuring 160 feet and over can cause local devastation and leave a crater. Thankfully, they only impact Earth about in 1,000 years. Depending on the impact location, larger space rocks—those that measure in at over 500 feet across—can cause deaths across populated metro areas and states, says NASA. Fortunately, they only hit the Earth around every 20,000 years. Asteroids that could cause global devastation are those measuring 3,000 feet and above. These rocks hit the Earth every 700,000 years, and can potentially cause the collapse of civilization. Rocks that measure over six miles across only impact our planet every 100 million years, but they can cause devastation across the planet, and are likely to also cause mass extinctions of life.

Nissan to supply cars to Honda in US
Nissan is in talks to supply cars to Honda in the USs, which would let the struggling Japanese carmaker put to use an under-used American plant, the Nikkei newspaper said on Friday without citing sources. The company is considering making Honda pickup trucks at its Canton plant in Mississippi, which turns out models such as the Frontier, the paper said. After Nissan's talks to merge with Honda to form the world's third-largest carmaker fell apart this year, the two said they would keep up an agreement to work together in areas such as electric vehicles. In a statement on Friday, Nissan said it had no additional updates, though it continued to work on projects with Honda. It said it would not comment on speculation. Honda officials were not immediately available for comment. Nissan reported a net loss of $4.5bn (R80,842,442,850) in the financial year that ended in March, and has been badly hit by dwindling sales as it grapples with an ageing vehicle lineup. It faces debt of about ¥700bn (R86,231,939,040) coming due this year and its debt ratings have been cut to junk by all three major credit ratings firms. New CEO Ivan Espinosa has unveiled a sweeping cost-cutting plan that includes closing seven factories worldwide and a cut of 15% in the global workforce. Like other legacy carmakers, Nissan and Honda face rising competition from Chinese players and difficulties stemming from US-Japan trade talks over car tariffs.

Renault to report $11.2bn loss on Nissan stake in first half
French carmaker Renault said on Tuesday it will report an estimated €9.5bn (R233,651,040,000) non-cash loss on its stake in Nissan Motor in the first half after changing the way it accounts for the investment. Renault, which holds a 35.7% stake in Nissan, said in future any change in the value of the holding would be directly recognised in equity and assessed based on Nissan's share price, with no impact on its net income. The change, which it said will have no effect on dividends paid by Renault, comes after the two companies agreed to loosen their ties and adjust a two-decade partnership to help support the Japanese firm's recovery.

DA slams poor fire safety as 13 Gauteng schools still to be repaired after blazes
More than a dozen Gauteng schools that were damaged by fire have not been repaired, up to five years after the incidents were reported. Since 2019, 29 schools across the province have been damaged by fire, but only six have been fixed by the Gauteng department of education (GDE), at a total cost of R9,301,040. Thirteen schools have neither been assessed nor repaired, while 10 schools were fixed using school insurance, the school governing body (SGB), or donations. The Gauteng education MEC, Matome Chiloane, revealed this in response to questions by the DA in the provincial legislature. The DA slammed the government's response, saying the situation reflected a wider problem of poor fire safety protocols in schools. 'Fire safety protocol deficiencies in Gauteng schools have been exposed, with 29 schools burnt down since 2019,' said Sergio Isa Dos Santos, DA Gauteng shadow MEC for education.
