It's unlikely to pose any menace to Earth. NASA estimates that it's going to have one in 10,000,000 odds of influence and there's a 99.9999902% likelihood the asteroid will miss the Earth.

NASA/JPL Middle for Close to Earth Object Research (CNEOS) tasks that it's between 13 and 29 toes in diameter.

Whereas it's onerous to identify within the night time sky, the Digital Telescope Mission will likely be streaming the flyby of the asteroid on Sunday.

The asteroid is one in all 5 asteroids passing by Earth this weekend. They're various in measurement, together with one car-sized rock, a bus-sized asteroid, and a soccer stadium-sized rock.

Climate Channel reviews that one of many 5 asteroids got here from the meteor that NASA's DART Mission intentionally crashed an object into it final 12 months to alter its trajectory.

"This one is particular as a result of it’s the primary time in historical past that people have been in a position to change the course of an asteroid," Climate Channel stated.
