NASA asteroid WARNING: Giant 210ft asteroid will speed past Earth at 37,000MPH TODAY
When this happens, the 220ft-wide space rock will reach its closest possible orbital distance to the planet.
Thankfully there is nothing to fear from the asteroid approach as it will miss the Earth by more than 800,000 miles (1.3 million km).
Despite this, NASA’s astronomers will continue to keep their eyes peeled as the asteroid swings by.
NASA’s JPL estimates Asteroid BJ1 measures somewhere between 95ft and 210ft (29m and 64m) in diameter.
