Here we go again, another newly discovered Asteroid to pass close to the Earth.
An asteroid big enough to wipe out a city will zip harmlessly between Earth and the Moon's orbit this weekend, missing both celestial bodies.
Scientists estimate its size is somewhere between 40 to 90 metres.
"There is no chance of this 'city killer' striking Earth, but its close approach offers a great opportunity for observations," the European Space Agency's planetary defence chief Richard Moissl said.
The Virtual Telescope Project will provide a live webcast of the close approach.
