NASA is anticipated five asteroids — including one as big as a house — to fly near Earth this week, though none will pose any danger.
The next two asteroids, the plane-sized QC5 and the bus-sized GE, will fly past Earth on Friday. QC5 measures approximately 83 feet in size, and will fly within 2.53 million miles of Earth. GE is approximately 26 feet, and will be observed some 3.56 million miles from Earth.
The next two asteroids, QE8 and QF6, are expected to fly past Earth on Sunday. QE8 is approximately 170 feet in length and will be the closest to Earth at 946,000 miles. QF6 measures just under 70 feet in length and will fly within 1.65 million miles from Earth.
