Asteroid 2015 DR215 ‘close approach’ tomorrow LIVE – Earth to be passed by space rock 3 times bigger than the Pyramids

A HUGE asteroid is set to make a “close approach” to Earth in the coming hours.

Asteroid 2015 DR215 is expected by the experts at Nasa to buzz past Earth in the early hours of Friday morning.

The asteroid has made it onto Nasa’s ‘close approach’ list and stands out as one of the largest on the table.

At up to 1,607 feet wide, the asteroid is more than three times larger than the Great Pyramid in Egypt.

An asteroid of this size would cause some serious damage if it hit Earth.

There’s no need to panic though, Asteroid 2015 DR215 is expected to pass us at a distance of 4.1million miles.

That may sound pretty far away but in the grand scheme of space, this isn’t a large distance at all.
