An asteroid that is more than 800m high and over 500m wide is set to race past Earth on 29 November at a speed of 90,000km/h. The asteroid 2000 WO107 is as tall as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and is expected to pass the planet at around 9.09 pm (AETD) on Sunday.
And contrary to reports that an asteroid the size of the world’s largest building is hurtling toward Earth, Asteroid 153201 or (2000 WO107) will actually miss the blue planetby nearly 2.7 million miles.
