There are several asteroids which keep drifting in the space of universe. Sometimes, they fall on the planet earth. However, most of the times, they don’t harm the planet Earth and just pass it.

Presently, another asteroid is approaching our planet. It is called 2004 BL 86.

This asteroid is quite large in size. It weighs 3 times the moon. Currently, the asteroid is located at a distance of 7.45 Lakh miles (12 Lakh km) from earth.

This information has been disclosed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in NASA centre.

Such asteroids cross the earth once in 200 years. Mostly, they do not cause any harm to the planet Earth.

It is expected that this asteroid also will pass earth without any harm.
