An asteroid, called 2012 TC4, will fly by Earth on Wednesday, October 15 at a distance of less than one million miles (1.5 million kilometers).
This asteroid is smaller than a football and will make no impact on Earth. However, the close approach of this space rock has prompted NASA to issue an asteroid watch for astronauts on the International Space Station.
To watch the asteroid fly by Earth, NASA has created a live stream on its website. The stream will begin at 10 a.m. EDT on Wednesday.
You can watch the asteroid fly by Earth using the online live stream by clicking on the link below. Unfortunately, due to the nature of live streams, the stream will be interrupted occasionally for updates.
