Huge asteroid to zoom past Earth on May 27
According to NASA’s Centre for Near Earth Object Studies, a “potentially hazardous” asteroid more than a mile long will pass Earth on May 27.
According to USA Today, the asteroid 1989 JA is 1.1 miles long, or 5,905 feet long.
While there are nearly 29,000 near-Earth asteroids in space, NASA says 1989 JA is one of 878 that are at least 3,280 feet wide, and it poses no threat to the planet.
1989 JA will be 2.5 million miles away when it makes its closest approach to Earth this week, or about ten times the distance to the moon and the closest it has ever been to Earth.
