00:00An asteroid the size of a jet is zooming past Earth tomorrow,
00:03and it's getting shockingly close.
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.
00:36It's not going to hit us.
00:38Still, the flyby is a cosmic close call
00:41and a stunning reminder of what's flying around us.
00:44Want to see it?
00:45You can't spot it with the naked eye,
00:47but the Virtual Telescope Project has set up a livestream tonight.
00:50Just don't blink.
00:51At 3.56 p.m. BST, 2025QD8 will fly by fast.
00:57And remember, NASA's tracking thousands of these near-Earth objects.
01:01Some are harmless.
01:03Some... not so much.
