The asteroid, about the size of the Eiffel Tower, will approach our planet in December.
According to the Daily Record, citing data from NASA, the asteroid is a space body called 4660 Nereus, 330 meters long.
The article explained that “4660 Nereus, which is nearly three times the size of a football field, is classified as a potentially dangerous asteroid.”
Nereus will approach Earth on December 11, and the asteroid should fly over our planet at a distance of 3.9 million kilometers (about 10 times the distance between Earth and the Moon).
