An asteroid large enough to destroy a city will pass between the orbits of the Earth and the Moon this weekend - luckily for us, missing both.
It is rare for such a huge asteroid - estimated to be between 40 and 90 metres in diameter - to come so close to the planet.

Asteroid to pass between Earth and Moon's orbit over weekend - CBS Miami
An asteroid discovered just last week will pass closer to the Earth than the orbit of the moon this weekend, an occurrence so rare it happens only once in a decade, according to NASA.
The asteroid, called 2023 DZ2, will pass closest to the Earth on Saturday at just 108,757 miles away, less than half the distance to the moon (238,606 miles).
