00:05At over 28,000 miles per hour,

00:08asteroid 2025QD8 will speed by our planet

00:11at a distance closer than the Moon.

00:13NASA says it'll miss us by just 135,000 miles.

00:17That's only 57% of the Moon's distance from Earth.

00:21Now imagine this.

00:22If 2025QD8 did hit Earth, it could wipe out an entire city.

00:27Astronomers call it a city killer for a reason.

00:30Measuring up to 124 feet wide,

00:32this space rock could cause catastrophic damage.

00:35But take a breath.
