Asteroid AJ13 will significantly cut this distance down, earning it the title of a so-called “Near-Earth Object”.

NASA explained: “As they orbit the Sun, Near-Earth Objects can occasionally approach close to Earth.

“Note that a ‘close’ passage astronomically can be very far away in human terms: millions or even tens of millions of kilometres.”

NASA’s JPL estimates Asteroid AJ13 measures somewhere in the range of 19.3ft to 42.6ft (5.9m to 13m) in diameter.

Orbital calculations show the asteroid is travelling through space at a speed of 13,399mph (5.99km per second).
