At the time of its close approach, the space rock, called 2019 NW5, will be traveling at a staggering speed of nearly 36,000 miles per hour relative to Earth.
An asteroid that could be larger than the Statue of Liberty is set to zoom past the Earth this weekend.'s Center for Near Earth Studies show.will be nearest to Earth at 9:59 p.m. UTC, or 5:59 p.m. ET, on July 18.
While 3.5 million miles may seem like a large distance, on the scale of the solar system, it's considered a relatively close approach. Nevertheless, there is zero risk that the asteroid will collide with our planet during this event. In fact, the asteroid will have among the fastest velocities at close approach of all the near-Earth objects that are scheduled to fly past the Earth over the next year or so, according to the CNEOS data.
