According to the CNEOS figures, 2022 OE2 will be traveling at a staggering speed of nearly 72,000 miles per hour. This is about 40 times faster than a rifle bullet, and around one third as fast as a bolt of lightning.
That would certainly be true if miles per hour were the same as miles per second.
“Nearing Earth” is 3.2 million miles? Mmmph!
Earth once had a bad case of asteroids. It cleared up, though.
