A 'city killer' asteroid, named 2025 QD8, is set to pass by Earth at a distance of 135,000 miles, which is half the distance to the Moon. NASA confirms there is no chance of impact, but if it were to hit, it would have the potential to flatten a city.
Asteroid 2025 QD8 will pass Earth at 28,000 mph.
The asteroid's size is comparable to a jumbo jet (up to 38 meters wide).
It will pass at a distance of 135,000 miles from Earth.
There is no chance of impact.
Potential impact would be equivalent to 30 times the Hiroshima bomb.
The asteroid is too faint to be seen with the naked eye.
Detecting the asteroid is a challenge even for most telescopes.
