NASA reveals 1,600-foot asteroid will make ‘close approach’ to Earth in 6 days

Earth is braced for a close brush with a huge massive asteroid bigger than the Empire State Building.

NASA has been keeping an eye on the rock and has revealed, and it’ll be a “close approach” in space terms.

it will still be well over 3.5m miles away, and so there’s nothing to panic about.

Experts believe the asteroid is somewhere between 241 and 536 yards wide.
