NASA has said that a gigantic 'potentially hazardous' asteroid will fly right past the Earth in the next four days. NASA's Asteroid Watch widget, that track asteroids and comets, shows that the “Asteroid 2020 ND” will whiz past Earth on July 24. Asteroid 2020ND, estimated to be 160 metres (520 feet) in diameter, is bigger than London Eye and is travelling at a speed of 13.5 kilometres per second (48,000 kilometres per hour).
