A “potentially hazardous” asteroid that’s about the size of a blue whale is headed toward Earth — and should arrive sometime on Friday, NASA has revealed. The fast-moving space rock, called 2015 FF, is estimated to be about 92 feet in diameter, according to NASA. It’s currently traveling at 20,512 miles per hour — about 27 times the speed of sound, the space agency reports. That’s not to say you should start getting your affairs in order. Although scientists are predicting a “near miss” with Earth, that doesn’t mean it will come anywhere near the planet. In space terms, a “near miss” occurs when something comes within 120 million miles of the planet. Are we only alive because we’re lucky that asteroids keep missing Earth?
