Big killer asteroid is approaching Earth NASA is now watching an asteroid that is roughly three times the size of the London Eye as it approaches Earth (https://bit.ly/3L5R5bg). The space agency detected the asteroid dubbed 'Monster Planet Killer' and said the massive space rock would approach Earth very soon. Reports said this massive meteorite, dubbed 2013 BO76, has the potential to destroy the entire city if it collides with any area of it. Virtual Telescope said this possibly deadly asteroid would pass relatively close to Earth at 5.1 million kilometers, or nearly 13 times the standard lunar distance. Asteroid 2013 BO76, a large space rock between 600 and 1500 feet, will pass close to Earth on March 24. According to the Daily Star, PanSTARRS survey found the object on Jan. 17, 2013. Virtual Telescope Project found the space rock on March 7 while it was still 15 million miles away from Earth. Next week, at its closest approach, it will pass within three million kilometers of the Earth. It's far enough away from the Earth's surface to avoid crashing with it, but it's a close call in terms of astronomy. However, NASA experts are constantly watching the meteorite because of the potential for catastrophe. It is due to the possibility of a collision due to Earth's gravity.
