Potentially Hazardous’ Asteroid Flying Between The Moon And Earth This Week In Rare Event (Forbes)
A 200-foot (58 meters) wide asteroid is set to fly much closer to our planet than the distance to the moon this Saturday.
This big space rock is much larger than almost all others ever found cruising inside the moon’s orbit.
There is a miniscule chance it could hit us when it returns in 2026.
