Pyramid-shaped asteroid VH5 2019 will not hit us tomorrow, says NASA.

The Independent: Great Pyramid of Giza-sized asteroid won't hit earth tomorrow.

A 427-foot pyramid-shaped asteroid is due to fly by Earth on Sunday, scientists say.

According to  the Centre for Near-Earth Object Studies at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the object, called VH5 2019, will harmlessly fly past around 4.27 million miles from our planet at a speed of 6.1 miles per second.

At 187ft by 426.5ft, the asteroid is “pyramid-shaped" and almost as large as the Great Pyramid of Giza.

The asteroid is one of five due to fly past Earth over the weekend, all at safe distances. (Asteroids are assholes, aren't they? - DD)

It comes after a gigantic 2,000 asteroid flew past Earth last month.

In 2017, an asteroid the size of a skyscraper called 2010 NY65 flew past around eight times the distance between the Earth and the moon.

Nasa launched a new office in 2016 called The Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO).

This was created to keep track of asteroids that come too close to Earth.

A recent study suggests that over the last 290 million years, asteroids have been crashing into Earth at triple their previous rate.

Great Giza! A study "suggests". We should probably throw tons of tax-payer money into more similar studies. We can never have too many studies that "suggest", can we?

I know VH5 won't hit us. I didn't buy a lottery ticket.
