The Sun: New asteroid the size of Statue of Liberty to skim past Earth tomorrow, Nasa warns.
NASA has its eye on a large asteroid that's about to make a "close approach" to Earth.
Asteroid 2022 KV1 is predicted to be up to 328 feet wide and should skim past Earth tomorrow.
Its predicted size would make it larger than the Statue of Liberty.
New York's Statue of Liberty stands at 305 feet tall when you include the base.
An asteroid of this size could do some damage if it hit Earth but the space rock is expected to pass us from a safe distance. (Oh...how unfortunate and disappointing. - DD)
The larger asteroid should pass Earth from just over 2.6million miles away.
