A big asteroid flies by Earth on Monday but space agency NASA tells people not to worry. CNN reports the asteroid is called 2004 BL86 and will be at least 1.2 million kilometers (745,000 miles) from the planet at 11:19 AM Eastern Time (or 12:19 AM Tuesday, Manila Time.) This distance is 3 times as far away as the moon, making it close enough for the average person to see it through strong binoculars and for NASA to observe and learn more about asteroids. It will be the closest known asteroid this large to pass near Earth until 2027.
