An asteroid hurtling through space at 33,300 miles per hour will narrowly miss Earth as it passes the planet this week.
Named 2023 BU, the space stone is set to bypass our home world at about 12.30am on Friday morning. Those hoping for a closer look can catch the asteroid whizzing past on a livestream thanks to robotic, remote controlled telescopes.
According data collected by Nasa's Centre for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), it will be the fourth-nearest out of 35,000 Earth approaches in 300 years from 1900 to 2200, reports Wales Online.
