NASA asteroid tracker: LOOK OUT for 10,700MPH asteroid barreling on ‘Earth approach’ TODAY

When the asteroid near-misses the Earth, the space rock will shoot past at breakneck speeds of around 10,760mph or 4.81km per second.

This means Asteroid CJ will fly by 14.02-times faster than the speed of sound.

And if that was not terrifying enough, NASA’s JPL estimates CJ measures in the range of 65.6ft to 147.6ft (20m to 45m) across.

Towards the lower end of that estimate, the asteroid resembles the devastating Chelyabinsk Meteor, which struck Russia six years ago.
