00:00An asteroid the size of a building is racing toward Earth,
00:03and it's set to fly by on July 17th.
00:06It's called 2022 YS-5, and although it won't hit us,
00:10it's coming close enough to put scientists on high alert.
00:13Measuring about 120 feet wide and flying at over 14,000 miles per hour,
00:18this space rock will pass Earth at just 4.15 million kilometers away,
00:23a hair's breadth in cosmic terms.
00:25NASA and ISRO say it's not dangerous,
00:28but that's not stopping them from paying close attention.
00:31Why?
00:32Because even small asteroids can change course over time
00:34due to gravity or cosmic collisions.
00:37That's why ISRO is ramping up its defenses,
00:39especially with a much bigger threat, asteroid Apophis, set to zoom by in 2029.
00:45India's teaming up with NASA, ESA, and Japan's space agency
00:49to build tech that can deflect or even land on asteroids
00:52before they pose a real danger.
00:54This flyby is a wake-up call for the entire planet.
00:57Even if 2022 YS-5 isn't hazardous, it's a loud reminder.
01:01Space never sleeps, and we can't afford to either.
01:04stopped watching in the 60s or 18iedzin relatable!
01:08Let's take a camp for the entire future!
01:10And as soon as soon as possible,
01:12it is, when we set us up,
01:14we go out to the greater 2011 planet and then
