An asteroid the size of the Statue Of Liberty [93 metres!] will zoom by earth today, missing us by around 200,000 kilometres -- but that’s considered a close encounter. Astronomers first detected the space rock eight years ago; it disappeared, but has since returned. You can even view the asteroid when it passes earth this afternoon!
