Posted on by Carmen Roberts

An asteroid the size of two football fields is set to pass by Earth today. 

The giant asteroid should be at its closest to Earth around 3:20 p.m. Eastern time.

The giant space rock will zip by our planet this afternoon at a speed of around 22-thousand miles an hour. NASA says the asteroid, dubbed 501647, will come within 1.9 million miles of Earth. Scientists say that’s a close fly by because any object that makes it within about 4.5 million miles is considered “potentially hazardous.” A much smaller asteroid will also fly by today but it won’t get as close. Only about 3.5 million miles from us. Carmen Roberts. Fox News.
