Scientists say there's zero risk from this flyby.
The asteroid is way smaller than what scientists consider "potentially hazardous," so it's just passing by without any chance of hitting us.

NASA tracks over 35,000 near-Earth objects

NASA tracks over 35,000 near-Earth objects using telescopes and radar around the world.
Projects like Pan-STARRS and ATLAS are always on the lookout for anything new flying by.

How to watch the flyby

If you're curious, check out NASA's Asteroid Watch dashboard or its Next Five Approaches tracker for real-time updates.
