NASA’s top asteroid experts are worried about three giant skyscraper-sized asteroids hurtling towards Earth this week.
Three giant flying space rocks – called 2012 DK31, 2006 BE55 and 2021 QW – are flying past the planet, with one coming as close as just 2.2 million miles to us.
The first one started coming past us on Monday, and is still within our sights today (Wednesday, March 1).
It measures around 137 metres across, and is thought to be as wide as a 40-floor skyscraper is tall.
The second one started coming close to Earth last night (Tuesday, February 28), and is the closest of the trio.
And the third asteroid will come near Earth on Friday (March 3) and will be around 250 feet in diametre, flying around 3.3 million miles from the planet.
All three have worried NASA experts enough to label them as Potentially Hazardous Asteroids, which means that they could cause some serious damage to our planet should the trajectory change in some way…
