A newfound near-Earth asteroid will buzz the Earth at a range closer than the moon on Sunday (Sept. 9), and you can watch its approach in a live webcast tonight (Sept. 8). The flyby will come on the heels of a car-size asteroid that flies even closer to Earth tonight, according to NASA.

 

The Sunday asteroid, named 2018 RC, is about the size of a jumbo jet, according to NASA's Asteroid Watch team. It was discovered Sept. 3 by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) in Hawaii and will pass within 136,000 miles (220,000 kilometers) of the Earth when it makes its closest approach to Earth on Sunday. That's well inside the average distance between the Earth and the moon. The moon is on average about 238,000 miles (382,900 km) from the Earth. [Gallery: Potentially Dangerous Asteroids]
