At the point of atmospheric impact, NASA has warned this speed would rapidly spike to about 38,877mph or 17.38km per second.
If the asteroid struck the Earth at full speed, the loss of life would be unimaginable.
According to NASA, the asteroid weighs in at an impressive 220,000,000,000kg or 220,000,000 tonnes.
This means Asteroid MV67 risks striking our home planet with the power of 7,900 Megatons (Mt) – the equivalent of 7,900 million tonnes of TNT.
