At over 556-feet long, the asteroid named “2020 ND” will be whizzing by the planet at nearly 30,000 miles per hour this Friday. NASA says the asteroid’s distance to Earth, at 3 million miles away, makes it “potentially dangerous.” Don’t panic over the asteroid’s label, though, since this will be the sixth time it’s passed Earth.
