NextImg:Huge asteroid to pass by Earth Sunday night


A massive asteroid is expected to pass between Earth and the moon on Sunday night, making its way past Earth at 7:19 p.m. ET.

The asteroid 2023 MU2 will pass within 134,000 miles of Earth and is one of several that will pass Earth this weekend.

FOURTH OF JULY AIRFARE DOWN BY 27% FROM LAST YEAR

It is unlikely to pose any threat to Earth. NASA estimates that it will have one in 10,000,000 odds of impact and there is a 99.9999902% chance the asteroid will miss the Earth.

NASA/JPL Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) projects that it is between 13 and 29 feet in diameter.

While it is hard to spot in the night sky, the Virtual Telescope Project will be streaming the flyby of the asteroid on Sunday.

The asteroid is one of five asteroids passing by Earth this weekend. They are varying in size, including one car-sized rock, a bus-sized asteroid, and a football stadium-sized rock.

Weather Channel reports that one of the five asteroids came from the meteor that NASA's DART Mission deliberately crashed an object into it last year to change its trajectory.

"This one is special because it’s the first time in history that humans were able to change the course of an asteroid," Weather Channel said.
