A huge asteroid to pass by Earth, BUT it won't hit us! A 400m-wide asteroid is passing by the Earth on Tuesday and will be closest to us just before midnight. The Strange rock is called 2005 YU55, this asteroid will come within 202,000 miles. This is actually closer to the moon than it is to the earth. The rock is that big, it is the biggest rock since 1976 so this means the next one won't be until 2028. If you have a telescope longer than 15cm and your lucky, you might be able to see the asteroid pass by but you will not be able to see the rock with just your eyes!
