Massive, once in a century asteroid to be visible flying past Earth - NASA estimates the asteroid Alinda is roughly the same width as Manhattan

This Sunday, an asteroid larger than Manhattan – large enough it could end civilization, or at least wreck a country – is casually flying by Earth. Don’t panic. This rocky beast named (887) Alinda has zero chance of hitting the blue marble anytime soon.

The asteroid is so large it should be viewable with ordinary binoculars. The post Asteroid larger than Manhattan to fly by Earth appeared first on Talker.
