The biggest asteroid of the year is just three days away from making an approach past Earth.
According to NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the asteroid named 7335 (1989 JA) will whizz by our planet on May 27.
The giant asteroid measures a colossal 1.1 miles in diameter - that's bigger than the Empire State Building and 1,000 people stacked on top of one another.
The CNEOS database indicates that the asteroid will safely pass by Earth at a distance of about 2.5 million miles, or about 10 times the distance between our planet and the Moon.
It's expected to make this year's flyby at 3:26pm UK-time on May 27, according to NASA. The asteroid's next close approach to Earth won't happen until 2055.
Due to the asteroid's enormous size, NASA has classified it as "potentially hazardous (PH)".
That's because any change in it's direction could be a disaster for Earth and cause severe impact.
Any fast-moving space object that comes within 4.65 million miles is considered to be "potentially hazardous" by NASA.
Boffins have said that it is inevitable that an asteroid will one day enter our atmosphere at some point.
The largest rock to ever pass by Earth is 3122 Florence (1981 ET3) - an asteroid so large it has two moons. It flew by the Earth seven million kilometres away back in September 2017.
It comes after the first picture of the supermassive black hole at the centre of our Milky Way galaxy was taken by astronomers this month.
