The asteroid, known as 2022 RM4, is expected to pass by #Earth on Nov. 1 – about 1.5 million miles away at its closest point.

According to #NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies, the asteroid has an estimated diameter of between 330 and 740 meters, or up to over 2,400 feet.

It will pass by Earth at around 52,500 miles per hour, according to LiveScience.

Any space object that comes within 120 million miles of Earth is deemed a “near-Earth object.”

Any large body within 4.6 million miles of Earth is classified with the astronomical term: a “potentially hazardous asteroid.”

According to NASA, Earth faces no known danger from an apocalyptic asteroid collision for at least the next century
