An asteroid the size of a bus will scrape past Earth tonight at a distance equivalent to that of London to Cairo.
The near-miss has been described as "extraordinarily" close, but thankfully Planet Earth is completely safe, with scientists saying the 8m (26ft) rock would likely incinerate if it did pass through our atmosphere.
Asteroid 2023 BU was discovered a few days ago by amateur astronomer Gennadiy Borisov, and is set to get as close as 6,213 miles away.
