An asteroid travelling at an incredible 48,280 kilometers per hour is on course to narrowly miss a collision with Earth at around 12.30 am Irish time on Friday morning.
The speeding space rock, which has been named 2023 BU, will be the fourth-nearest of 35,000 past and future Earth approaches according to Nasa's Center for Near Earth Object Studies.
Skygazers may not be able to see it with their bare eyes however, you will be able to watch the asteroid whiz past our planet on a Livestream courtesy of robotic, remote-controlled telescopes.
