An asteroid the size of a skyscraper will pass within 1.7 million miles of Earth today, according to NASA.
The asteroid, which is between 690 feet and 1,575 feet across, is labeled as "potentially hazardous" by NASA, although there is no chance of it hitting Earth.
The event will be livestreamed by NASA's Virtual Telescope Project.
This is one of several asteroid encounters happening this week, with three smaller asteroids buzzing Earth today and another two on Saturday.
