The solar system appears to be a very busy place these days.
Another asteroid is expected to head the Earth’s way this weekend.
It’s the size of a football field — measuring 100 metres wide — will cruise past Earth on Saturday.
Unlike the asteroid, the remnants of which hit Russia in February, this one is expected to keep its distance, missing the earth by 960,000 kilometres.
Astronomers will stream a shot of it online.
