The largest asteroid to get close to Earth makes its pass this week. But there's no need to worry as the Scottish Sun reports it will avoid our planet by 2.5 million miles.
The space rock, named 7335 (1989 JA), passes our pale blue dot on May 27, according to Nasa. However, what makes 7335 stand out is its gargantuan size - up to 1.1 miles (1.8 km) wide and four times bigger than the Empire State Building.
Asteroid 7335 is travelling faster than a bullet but does not pose any immediate threat to our planet. The object hurtles past roughly once every seven years, giving scientists a chance to examine it up close.
