Astroid double the size of Pyramid of Giza to fly past Earth on September 6.

 One of the world's biggest Space Agency NASA has said that an asteroid, twice as big as Pyramids of Giza would cross Earth's orbit on September 6, 2020. The name of the asteroid is 465824 ( 2010 FR ) and it's diameter is expected to be between 120m and 270m.


According to CNEOS ( Centre for Near Earth Object Studies) although the size is big but it won't hit Earth's surface. According to them it will safely pass by our planet on Sept. 6 more than 4.6 million miles away that's more than 19 times the distance of our moon. 


It is an Apollo asteroid because it will cross the Earth's orbit and it's speed will be 31,400mph. It was first spotted on March 18, 2010 by Catalina Sky Survey(CSS) and NASA'S CNEOS.
