NASA is keeping a close eye on three asteroids that are set to make close approaches to Earth today.

One asteroid will come within just 77,200 miles of our planet, which is roughly one-third of the average distance between Earth and the moon .

Two more bus-sized asteroids will also zip through Earth 's cosmic neighborhood today , but will remain millions of miles away.

None of the asteroids that will approach Earth today pose any threat to our planet.

NASA 's Planetary Defense Coordination Office is developing strategies to protect Earth from an incoming threat.
