NASA asteroid WARNING: Giant 118ft space rock headed on Earth ‘approach’ TONIGHT

The 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor, which is estimated to have measured around 65.6ft (20m), injured more than 1,000 people in Russia when it exploded over Chelyabinsk.

At the upper end of YQ2’s estimate, the space rock is about more than twice as tall as the Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles, is six-times as tall as an average giraffe and is nine-times longer than a Volkswagen Beatle.

Thankfully, even at its closest, Asteroid YQ2 will miss the Earth completely by nearly two million miles.

NASA believes the space rock will reach 0.01919 astronomical units (au) from the Earth – enough to dub it a “Near-Earth Object” (NEO) but not close enough to sound the alarm bells.
