NASA has warned that a giant asteroid bigger than the Eiffel Tower will break into Earth’s orbit in just over a week.
The 1,082-foot space rock is heading our way and should skim past us on December 11.
NASA has its eye on Asteroid 4660 Nereus because it’s well over 492 feet long and will come within 4.6 million miles of Earth.
That puts it in the “potentially hazardous” category.
There’s no need to panic, though, as Asteroid Nereus isn’t expected to impact Earth.
If all goes well, it should shoot past our planet at 14,700 miles per hour.
NASA is expecting the space rock to stay 2.4 million miles away from us.
That’s about 10 times the distance between Earth and the moon.
That may seem pretty far away, but it’s actually close as near-Earth asteroids go.
