NASA ALERT: 65-Foot Asteroid To Give Earth an Extremely Close Shave
The space rock (named 2015 HD1) was discovered on April 18th, 2015.
The whizzing asteroid could cause a damaging impact on our planet, but Earthlings are being told not to worry.
The rogue rock will miss Earth on Tuesday by a comfortable distance 0,2 LD (59.000 km)
But experts say the relatively close call is a stark reminder that there are plenty of dangerous heavenly bodies in our vicinity.
This is the third asteroid passing between earth and the moon this month.
There are 3 more asteroids that make their closest approaches on April 21th. http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/ca/
