An asteroid, quadruple the size of London’s Big Ben, is zooming through space.
Measuring 3,280 ft in total, the Burj Khalifa-sized asteroid will pass by Earth next week, according to the European Space Agency.
Topping 76,192kph, about the speed of one tourist in a rented Lambo on SZR, the humungous asteroid will thankfully stay a very safe distance from Earth, 1.9 million km to be exact.
Look up! The asteroid will be visible with a telescope on January 19
