Here’s one extraterrestrial express bus you’ll be glad you missed: An asteroid named 2019 AE3 will pass by Earth on Thursday morning, Jan. 2.

NASA says the space rock is between 32 and 71 feet long, or roughly the size of a city bus, and zooming through the cosmos at 18,400 miles per hour.




Fortunately, the Near Earth Object (NEO) won’t come too near to Earth. The closest it is expected to get is four lunar distances -- about 1 million miles – at approximately 9 a.m. EST. Tracking is available on The Sky Live, which calculates that 2019 AE3 will technically be visible from New York City between around 1 a.m. and 10 a.m.



The event is set to occur just three days after five sizeable NEOs flew by Earth on the same day. The largest was taller than the Statue of Liberty and came within 3.1 million miles of the planet, according to The Sun, while another similar in size to 2019 AE3 practically skimmed it just 415,000 miles away.

A giant one will one of these days come close to the planet and be drawn to the surface by the gravitational pull of the earth.

If man doesn't put his shit together especially for us black bonobos which are so excited by sending a minute satellite into near earth orbit. Then we will be doomed and never know what hit us.
